I appeared for php test, their I was asked one question for which I could not find the answer.

The question is like this.

echo "MESSI is injured!!";
header("Location:somepage.php");

Interviewer want both header and echo to be written on the same page.

I wonder how's it possible.It should give some error like

headers already sent by (output started at .....

Is it really possible to write echo and header onto same page !!!

php header echo

You can do it as long as all the header calls come before any non-header output is sent (this includes pesky things like newlines/whitespace). So 

<?php
header("Location:somepage.php");
echo "MESSI is injured!!";
?>

should do the trick
