the call to header() should not be echo'd. that line should be changed to:
header('Location: example.php');
exit();
calling exit() afterards will then stop further execution of the script.

Do not echo header("Location: example.php)". It is a php function so you just write
header("Location:example.php");

You cannot have echo before header or together inside the same directive/condition.
You can however setup an if directive.
You have echo " header( 'Location: example.php' ) ;";
it would need to read as header('Location: file.php'); only.
The correct method of doing a header redirect is:
header('Location: example.php');
You can do the following:
if( $mysqli->query($query) ) {
header('Location: example.php');
}else{
echo "Database Error: Unable to create record.";
}
$mysqli->close();
}
Visit the PHP.net on the header() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Step 1: First execute your query to insert data into database
Step 2: Close database connection
Step 3: Just put>>> header('Location: example.php');

this a php script that redirect the user to another URL put this after the right condition or after instructions of your code
<html>
<?php
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;
?>
