How to use query result

[Anon]

I have a page with one input box that user enters their employee number into and clicks submit. Query returns the corresponding row and what I need help with is how to use the result to determine where the user goes next. For example, if they are the administrator I want them to be automatically taken to the administrator page but if they aren't, they need to go to a registration page. Tried putting <form action=desired page> in if statement but that doesn't work. I am very new to programming so an example would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

A little bit of your code would make your need clearer, anyway, try something like
<?php
if (isAdminstrator($user))
$desiredPage = 'adm.php';
else
$desiredPage = 'reg.php';
echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$desiredPage\">";
?>

maybe you missed method, or maybe you missed "s (maybe both ;P)
hope it hekps,
