redirect after some of page processes

pohopo

is it possible to redirect a page after the server has processed some of it and not just redirect in the header?

I have a page with mutliple modules and when one module does an insert from a form I want it to reload the page after the insert. this way if the user does a refresh it does not try to do an insert again. because the site is in modules i do not want to have to put all insert/update code in the main index file before the header starts.

if this is not possible, is there a way to make it so a person can refresh and it will not try to do an insert twice?

TIA

you can use the header() function as long as there is NO character/output sent to the browser - anything else you can pretty much do before using header() - also db transactions.

I would only think you can try javascript to open a window after inserting a row, but I know little javascript but think it may work.

or use the output buffer functions - ive done that before with much success.

No, you can do this on the server side. the header function lets you redirect before it sends the page back.

thanks. this is exactly what I was looking for.
