PHP Redirect

City_PHP

I need to redirect to a page after data has been entered into a database. Here's the scenerio:

First: a user fills out a form and submits it
Second: the data is sent to a PHP script where the it is entered into a database

Third: Once the data has been entered, a redirection occurs to a new page on a new site.

I have tried using the Header redirect method and it does not work.

Let me know if anyone has a solution. Thank you!

echo "<meta http-equiv = \"refresh\" content=\"1; url=http://www.yourlinkhere.com\">";

Strip out the slashes if you don't want it embedded in PHP.

Strip out the slashes if you don't want it embedded in PHP.

Unfortunately, an error still occurs: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent "

The following Javascript can be used, but the page that the data is sent to shows up for a split second and then goes to the URL that I want it to go to.

<?
php stuff
$newpage = index.php
?>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.1">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

Any ideas on how to make the processing php file invisible?

Hit php.net and check out the information on using the header function. If you use a header function in that file (if you didn't take out the redirection, maybe?), or if you have an included file that uses the header function, here is the problem...

The header() function HAS to be sent first -- before any white space, or HTML... otherwise it'll kick back that error. Check for a blank line at the very top before your <?php tag or any HTML that's being sent first.
