Redirect/Forward Page

hotwire132002

I'm trying to write a script that will run some functions, then forward to another PHP page. When the submit button is clicked, the script does some calculations, emails out a result, then ends. I want it to go to another page when it's done sending out the email. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I would assume there's some sort of easy redirect command, but can't seem to find it.

as long as you dont send anything to the browser (i.e using the print or echo commands) then you can use:

header("Location: yourpage.php");

For more information check out the PHP manual:

There are other ways of using the header function also.

I have to send information to the browser in the script. Is there another way to do this?

What do you have to output to the browser?

Have it run the calculations:

2+2 = 4;

then run your mail function:
mail($myemail);

then redirect to a new page:
header("Location: newpage.php");

Just dont use the echo or print commands in the calculations or mail functions.

Without code from here I cant help you out beside what I have said.

Thanks for the help. I've got it working now.
