    redirecting the page using php

    Hi all,

    In my application there is a link in page 1 by name "plan", when it is clicked it directs to page2 which contains a form with many fields and submit button. When the user clicks the submit button, php and mysql code is written in page3 to store data in mysql. Here is code I am using

    page2

    Code:
    <form name="plan" action="page3.php" method="POST">
Name : <input type="text" name="Uname">
Age: <input type="text" name="Uage">
<input type="submit" value="GO"> 
</form>
    My problem is when the form is submitted in the page 2, I need to go to page 1 instead of page 3, but I can't write the php code in page 1 instead of page 3 because of some security reasons.
    How can I solve this problem, how to redirect from page 3 to page 1 after execution of page 3 code. Can anybody help me

    With regards

    page3

    Code:
    <?php
$Uname = $_POST['Uname'];
$Uage = $_POST['Uage'];

$sql = "INSERT INTO user_info(user_name,user_age) VALUES('$Uname','$Uage')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
?>

      Use a header() redirect.

      [php]
      # query mysql
      header("Locatio n: http://yoursite.com/page1.php");
      [/php]

      Regards :)

                          No.

                          You are using a header after html has been output - big NONO!

                          Have a read about the header function on php.net

                          Regards.

                              This is a cheap way of doing it, but if you want to redirect half way through your script you can output a meta refresh line in html:

                              [HTML]<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url= http://mywebsite.com">[/HTML]

                              **The 2 means it will wait 2 seconds, you can change that to 0 if you want.

                              This can go anywhere and will do what you want I think.
