PHP If Statements Not Firing - php

Question

I'm currently building a system for a football league. And are currently working on the script file for adding results. Most of the script works and the result is always successfully added to the database. However the authentication part seems to fail. The if statement on line 12 does not seem to fire and I can't understand why.
My code can be found in the pastebin link here: http://pastebin.com/ty4pdGgn
<?PHP
include 'functions.php';
dbConnect();
//$userEmail = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["userEmailText"]);
$userCode = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["userPasscodeText"]);
$authenticated = false;
$userEmail = "info#example.com";
if ($userEmail == "info#example.com") {
header('Location: ../results.php?error=authentication');
}
$allUsers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE email = '$userEmail'");
while ($thisUser = mysql_fetch_assoc($allUsers)){
if ($userCode != $thisUser['passCode']) {
header('Location: ../results.php?error=authentication2');
}
echo $thisUser['passCode'];
$authenticated = true;
$userID = $thisUser['userID'];
}
if (!$authenticated) {
header('Location: ../results.php?error=authentication3');
}
$dateSubmitted = $_POST['submissionDate'];
$homeTeam = $_POST['homeTeam'];
$awayTeam = $_POST['awayTeam'];
$homeGoals = $_POST['homeGoals'];
$awayGoals = $_POST['awayGoals'];
if ($homeTeam == $awayTeam) {
header("Location: ../results.php?error=team");
}
if (getTeamLeague($homeTeam) != getTeamLeague($awayTeam)) {
header("Location: ../results.php?error=league");
} else {
$leagueID = getTeamLeague($homeTeam);
}
if ($homeGoals > $awayGoals) {
$winnerID = $homeTeam;
} else if ($homeGoals < $awayGoals) {
$winnerID = $awayTeam;
} else if ($homeGoals == $awayGoals) {
$winnerID = -1;
}
$cQuery = mysql_query("INSERT INTO results VALUES ('', $userID, '$dateSubmitted', $leagueID, $homeTeam, $homeGoals, $awayTeam, $awayGoals, $winnerID, 0)");
if ($cQuery){
header('Location: ../results.php');
} else {
echo mysql_error();
}
?>
Any help with this matter will be much appreciated. The functions.php contains no errors as this is all to do with database entry and not the authentication.

Answer 1

Put a die(); after the header("Location:...");

Answer 2

As your comparison code (the "if" part on line 12) that you pasted has to work, i have two advice:
Put a die(); or exit(); after the header() part.
Try looking here, as I am not sure if header() will work, while the location path you set is relative. Basic advice is to always use base paths for redirects, like "http://your.site.com/script.php").
