removing URL variable

BEFOR

Self Answer to below, to get this to read: "anyL.php"

Is:

"any<?php echo $page;?>.php"

Placed as a form action.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I'm passing a variable to a page : $ page

The form inserts. However the redirect doesn't go, instead repeating the same page address as this insert (is blank page now).

header('Location: http://www.site.com/any.php');
//gives 403, and 404 forbidden error.

The header will only work to the base address: http://www.site.com But I need the extended address to send users where desired.

The meta refresh approach: results in the refresh being carried out before the insert page is even arrived at.

Form is using 'post' if this matters. What else can be done to remove the variable being appended to the pages following this insert page?

your not very clear with your question. i assume you want this;

"any<?php echo $page;?>.php"

to return;

anyL.php

even this doesnt make much sense.... have you a page called anyL.php?

it would be much easier to just use querystrings here. that what there made for. but anyway;

<?php

  $page = 'L';
  echo 'any'.$page.'.php';

?>

have you a page called anyL.php?

Yes. And it was unclear, but hopefully now made more clear.

Apologies, but I answered my own post in bold.
