php redirect when wrong password

is this right the code will redirect a person to the login page when they try to access it using without going into the login page

<?php

$pass = 'password';

?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php 

if ( $_POST["pass"] == $pass){
?>

Congrats you have log in!


<?php 

}else{

header("Location: http://signin.com/");
}
?>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript

<?php​$pass = 'password';​?><html><head><title></title></head><body><?php ​if ( $_POST["pass"] == $pass){?>​Congrats you have log in!​​<?php ​}else{​header("Location: http://signin.com/");}?></body></html>​

i ended up having a “Server error The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.test.com It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”

Something like this would work better:

<?php
$pass = 'password';

if ($_POST["pass"] != $pass){
    header("Location: http://signin.com/");
    exit;
    }
?>

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
Congrats you have log in!

</body>
</html>

JavaScript
 
<?php$pass = 'password';​if ($_POST["pass"] != $pass){    header("Location: http://signin.com/");    exit;    }?>​<html><head><title></title></head><body>Congrats you have log in!​</body></html>​

You need to check if the user is logged in. If not, redirect and exit. If so, display the message.
