    1. COheader() is a php function and not an html tag. you simply have to call it like header( 'Location: example.php' ) ;

    2. COFirst, even if you DID get this to work, you have to remove the space between your `header(` and `'Location:` as you have here `echo " header( 'Location: example.php' ) ;";` - it needs to read as `header('Location:` - however the correct way of doing a header redirect is `header('Location: example.php');`

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
