redirect after upload

<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_UPLOAD" value="204800"><br />
upload a jpg<br />
<input type="file" name="userfile"><br />
<input type="submit" name="done" value="upload file">

<?php
if(isset($_POST['done'])){
 if($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']=="none"){
  echo"<br />";
  echo "try again";
  exit();
 }else{
  $target = "uploads";
  $my_file = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
  $ext = strrchr($my_file,'.');
  if($ext == ".jpg"){
   copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "$target/$my_file");
   echo "<br />";
   echo "$my_file uploaded!";
   //
   //take me somewhere else!!
  //
  } else{
    echo "<br />";
    echo "not a jpg, try again";
	}
 }
}
?>

</form>
</body>

this code uploads a file, and makes sure it's a jpg

then I'd like it to go to a new url (and send a variable: the name of the jpg)
I have no idea how to do this...
do you?

header("Location: newpage.php?image=" . $my_file);

But make sure you callt his function before anything is outputted the visitor. Outputting so much as a white space to the visitor before the call to header() will result in a ugly error.

the problem is that I don't know where to put that
🙁

I'm just starting to learn php...
I'm more of an actionScripter

Right after this line:
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "$target/$my_file");

Don't print any HTML or whitespace before it, or it won't work. You can print stuff after it, but it's useless.

still no luck...
now I understand the causes, and the behaviour of the header(), but as it's supposed to go inside the form tags...

I managed to make it work using

<?php
ob_start();
?>

before all the code

But I'm still willing to learn the other way, and the pros and cons.

Thanks!
