Bad question. :-)
Let me explain.

Script1: somepage.php

Script2: anotherScript.php
This script contains ONLY header('Location: somepage.php') (for
simplicities sake), so:
<?php
// This is anotherScript.php
header('Location: somepage.php');
exit;
?>

Now, suppose somebody (MrX) has the output of somepage.php in the browser.
And then what happens? (your 'triggered by some event' is a bit vague,
but I think I understand what you mean.)
MrZ now loads anotherScript.php in his browser.
That will result in a header response from the server to the browser.
This response instructs (suggests) the browser of Mr.Z to go to
somepage.php instead.
So Mr.Z will see whatever-it-is-that-somepage.php-produces too.

I hope this question vanishes after my above explanation.
