[wp-hackers] Page Redirect from Shortcode

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Shortcodes are parsed/called at display time, by the time the shortcode
function is called, the header and some posts may/will have printed.

Your only real option is to hook in early on template_redirect (or similar)
and scan through $wp_query->posts manually looking for the shortcode, and
handling it there..

A shortcode might not be the best option for what you're trying to achieve?
what are the reasons you've gone with a shortcode?
