What potential pitfalls can arise when trying to redirect requests based on HTTP status code 200 in PHP?

When redirecting requests based on HTTP status code 200 in PHP, a potential pitfall is that a status code of 200 does not necessarily indicate a successful request. It simply means that the request was received and processed successfully by the server. To ensure that the request was successful, you should check the response content or headers for specific indicators of success. 

// Check if the response content or headers indicate a successful request
if ($response_content === 'Success') {
    header('Location: success_page.php');
    exit;
} else {
    header('Location: error_page.php');
    exit;
}
