header("location: newpage.php" );
exit;

ps3o:
header("location: newpage.php" );
exit;

The header function, by default, stops running any block of code after it. So exit; is really not important cos the function will exit with or without it.

I know what I mean when I put exit. exit serves as a break to stop the code below from being executed. many times when ppl use include or require_once and there happens to be an error, the exit stops the below code from execution.

You are right. But header function will exit immediately it is executed thereby not executing codes after it.

exit; and return; does the same thing.
