Opening html after authentication

[basher]

An easy question for yous that know PHP.

I have a PHP authentication page based on a MySQL database. Authentication works great, now I want it to pass the user to a different html file instead of returning an echo statement. Here is a clip of my code:

if ($num != "0") {
echo "<p>Authorization Successful!</p>";
exit;

Instead of returning "Authorization Successful", I'd like it to go to a different html page, like page.htm after authorization. Any help would be great!

thanks
Bill

put this in place of your echo:
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/whatever.php");

you can only use this, though, if you don't have any other HTML before it.

Great thanks for the help, I used this code:

if ($num != "0") {
header ("Location: auth.htm");
exit;

It works great! Thanks, now on to learning more PHP!!
