I don't think there are many other possiblities, at least if you don't want to use JavaScript (and I hope you don't). Instead of the redirect, you could perhaps use require() to include one of the two possible pages, and thus avoid one server-client roundtrip. > At the moment I have created a page between dept_select.php and the other > pages and added the following code to it: > <?php > if ($department=="5-14 Curriculum") > { > header("Location:5-14_select_area.php"); > } > elseif ($level=="5-14 Curriculum") > { > header("Location:5-14_select_area.php"); > } > else > { > header("Location:add_new_resources.php"); > } > ?> The Location header requires an absolute URI, e.g. http://your_host/path/your_file.php. I'm not sure whether this is a database question ;-) Regards... Michael
