[Resolved] Redirect without Header

[tho68]

Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated: Unfortunately I cant use "header location:" to redirect because my provider runs php as CGI.
Is there any other possibility to redirect the user after having submitted a form and having performed a MySql update (cant use meta contet refresh either since I dont know how long it takes the user to submit the form)?
I tried embedding Javascript at the end of aphp if-statement that gets called when form is submitted and performs the mysql update, but the following does not work either (wont redirect for some reason):
....
if ($submit)
{ ..../*perform Mysql update
mysql_close();
echo "<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>";
echo "<!--";
echo "window.location='confirm.php';";
echo "//-->";
echo "</SCRIPT>";
}
...

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Surely. You could do a javascript function like so:

<?php
if($condition){
echo '<script language="Javascript">';
echo 'window.location="http://www.site.com/page.htm"';
echo '</script>';
}
?>

I don't know much JS, but I think that is the right syntax.

Thanks Steve! The inverting of quotes worked like magic; spent hours on this and now it finally works!
