Any issues using "header"?

[eluser]CodeIgniterNewbie[/eluser]
Are there any problems with using "header" to redirect users to various pages of a site? For example, if a user successfully logs in, the following command is issued:

Code:

header('Location: ' . base_url() . 'dashboard/')

Is there a "CI way" of redirecting users? Thanks.

The URL Helper provides an easy function.

Code:

redirect()
