I have a html page with a form, that when submitted sends the data to a php page for inclusion into a database. I would like the script to automatically redirect the user to another page. Can this be done in php.
Thanks
Mike.

Indeed it can, and it's very easy. Insert the following after the code has been processed :-

<?php
header("Location: mypage.php";
?>

Where mypage.php is the destination address. Very important though is to make sure that before you use a header() command is that no output has been previously sent to the browser, so make sure that no HTML is sent, that there are no blank lines in your code between PHP Code Blocks and that nothing has been echoed in your PHP Script, or it will just generate an error.

Hope this helps

I tried this already but I was sending output to the browser before the header "DUH".
Many Thanks
Mike.

It's a mistake easily made Mike. Glad I could be of help.
