What potential issue is the user facing with the PHP redirection script?

The potential issue the user is facing with the PHP redirection script is that the headers have already been sent before the redirection header is set, which can cause the redirection to fail. To solve this issue, make sure that no output is sent to the browser before setting the redirection header.

<?php
ob_start(); // Start output buffering
// Your PHP code here
ob_end_clean(); // Clean the output buffer without sending it to the browser

header('Location: new_page.php');
exit;
?>
