Redirect within PHP

[draspen2]

Instead of printing "Success" I want to redirect to another page I tried a header but I got and error. Any ideas?

if ( isset ( $first_name ) && isset ($last_name) && isset ( $email )
  && isset ( $address ) && isset ( $city ) && isset ( $state ) && isset ( $zip )
   && isset ( $phone ) && isset ( $type_wanted ) && isset ( $other_animals )
   && isset ( $kids ) && isset ( $yard ) && isset ( $sleep )
   && isset ( $comments ) ) {
    //check input here
    $dberror= "";
    $ret = add_to_database ($first_name, $last_name, $email, $address,
$city, $state, $zip, $phone, $type_wanted, $other_animals, $kids, $yard, $sleep,
$comments,  $dberror );
    if ( ! $ret )
       print "Error $dberror<BR>";
    else
        print "Success";
		//include("index.htm")

}
else {

header("Location: your_new_location");
it's the best way to redirect to another page, but it will work only if there are no output yet.

maybe there is something returned by your add_to_database function.

what exactly is the error returned by php for your header ?

What I am trying to do is redirect after the input the data to a sussess page so they know the for was sent.

why not just put the success page after the code?

It depends on your php.ini settings, i can use header("Location:");
after data has been outputted.

that's easy to guess :
if you display the success page in the same php page that does the insert ...
then if the client hit the refresh, you'll insert again.

redirect to the success page prevents things like that.

u can output a javascript like this:

echo '<script>location="url you want to redirect to"</script>';
