redirect - PHP MVC correct redirecting, is die needed? -

what correct way redirect controller in php mvc structure?

lets have controller class:

abstract class controller {      public function __construct() {         // code here     }      abstract protected function index();      protected function redirect($location = 'index') {         header('location:' . url . $location);         die(); // <-not shure if die right here     }  } 

and in class need verify condition , redirect place if false

class logincontroller extends controller {      public function __construct() {         parent::__construct();         // more code here     }      public function index() {         if ($this->session->verifyuserstatus()) {             $this->redirect('admin');         }         $this->view->render('login');     } } 

should need call die() function @ end of redirector? or ending script fine?

regards

you can end normally, die() isn't necessary.
