 * Hi all, I wrote this redirect function which sort of works
 *     ```
       function underConstruction()
       {
           $visitor = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
           $valid_ips = array("1","2","3","4");
   
           if(!in_array($visitor, $valid_ips))
           {
               header("Location: http://www.redirecthere.com");
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve removed the IP addresses. Now this…kind of works. It works if I try to access
   any other page of the site other than the home page from a non valid IP. When
   accessing the home page, I get an error stating that the headers cannot be modified
   as they’ve already been sent. Anyone else ever had this issue?

 * Okay have modified the code to use Javascript redirection (eventhough I think
   that is lame), just replace the header function with this
 *     ```
       ?>
               <script type="text/javascript">window.location = "http://www.redirecthere.com"</script>
               <?php
       ```
