You cannot send any output to the browser before using the header() function. So put all the html content and your echo statements in your code after the header() function.
If you still want to use the browser output before the header(), then you need to do something like this..

<?php 
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<body>
Testing!
</body>
</html>
<?php 
$x = 0;
if ($x == 1) {
	header("location:http://google.com");
} else {
	// do nothing but send the browser output.
	ob_end_flush();
}
?>

For more info on how the functions ob_start(), ob_end_flush() and header() works go through the following links.
