PHP Redirect Question

[shaggy112]

Hey,
I have a site going with PHP and MySQL. Whenever I submit a form into the db, the I am left with the same page that I started with.
In other words, I want to be able to redirect to another page after a form submission.
I know this is simple, but I can't remember how it was done.
thx

header("Location:index.php");

thanks.
i am unfamiliar with http headers. where do i need to put this in my script so that the form will redirect after submission. Here is the error that I get now.
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/docs/vendingdevel/header.inc:14) in /var/www/docs/vendingdevel/cont_update.inc on line 9


i am also using php include files, so header.inc is included into the php file.

You have to use the redirect before any html is sent to the browser.

ok.
that is kinda what i was thinking. how then would i have a form that would take you to another site, after the form was processed?

For example:
<form action=anotherphpfile.php method=post>
< all your html code here>
</form>

In "anotherphpfile.php", you'll have the redirect first. You may not even see any html on anotherphpfile.php depending on the line speed.
