[wp-hackers] internal redirects

[Otto]

If you're going to do redirects, best to do them as early as possible.
I have plugin code that looks basically like this:

if (array_key_exists('my_check_thingy', $_GET) &&
$_GET['my_check_thingy'] == 1) { ?>
... logic for redirect ...
}

This happens right at plugin load. No waiting about, no loading the
query, just do it. Works fine, speedy as heck.
