Sure, just use a header() function call at the end of your script.

Anon

could you please be more specific? i looked here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php but i'm still confused. thanks,

Anon

at the bottom of your script have

header("Location: url_to_go_to");

Anon

it won't let me do that...

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /my-site/poll.php:22) in /my-site/poll.php on line 24

i've used header to get access to my poll.php file.

You didn't read the header function reference carefully enough.

What you want is include() or require()

Anon

oops! i'm sorry... i did use include

include("poll.php");
echo getPoll("one");

?? thanks,

i found an example for my weak question...

if you enter the poll at http://www.proxy2.de/ and then hit refresh, you don't get any of the lame "the page cannot be refreshed without resending..." message.

however, download the advanced poll, put it in a secret directory on your site, and try it out... when you vote, then click refresh it'll give you the lame message.

am i missing something obvious here?
