Redirection

[chewmanfoo]

Guys,

After using a php script to work as the "action" of a form, I usually display a lame "Your <whatever> has been <whatever>!" on a blank page. I'm trying to liven things up a bit, so here's my question: What is the preferred way to redirect the browser to a web site after the submit has been clicked and the processing done?

In other words, I usually do this:

<?php

do_the_work();

echo "The work has been done!";
echo "<a href=\"referring_page.php\">BACK</a>";

?>

What I want to do is:

<?php

do_the_work();

// code here sends the browser back to the
// page before the form...

?>

How do I do this?

Thanks!

But how about redirecting AFTER another output?
I wanna redierct after including a template that produces page output already, so i get the error, that a header already exists

is there another way to redirect???

plz help!

Put a refresh tag in the page. An example is found here.
