User Login Redirection

[nafn]

Howdy!

I'm having some troubles,
I have a login system, index.php holds the form for the user to log in.
When user logs in successfully, theres a script that executes echos and displays whats in the echo on the same file (index.php)

<?
if($session->logged_in){
echo "";
echo "Welcome <b>$session->username</b>, you are logged in. <br><br>"
."<a href="userinfo.php?user=$session->username">My Account</a> | "
."<a href="useredit.php">Edit Account</a> | ";
if($session->isAdmin()){
echo "<a href="admin/admin.php">Admin Center</a> | ";
}
echo "<a href="process.php">Logout</a><br>";
}
else{
?>

How can I make it so when the form is submitted, the user is then directed to say, main.php? or just another webpage?

thanks (:

Note: i've tried multiple ways, what lets me down is where to add extended code into the php because I usually get a syntax error and can't view the page.

I am guessing you are trying to redirect using [man]header[/man]. If so you may want to read up on the restriction on its use. Based on what I am seeing in your code I would guess you have some output before your calling the "header" and if you have even a blank space being out put before "header" it will fail.

Generally speaking it is bad to have content for the user to see that is immediately replaced by a new page. So you may just want to rethink when you call that redirect. Otherwise you could try the HTML <meta> redirect.
