Re: redirecting to a new page

See Header() - say you have redirect.php and you link to it with redirect.php?goto=http://www.php.net then you could have this in redirect.php: <?php Header( Location: $goto ); ?> and off they go to $goto. Of course you could do all of your work in one php file instead of multiple files - like so: test.php: <?php $me = "test.php"; if ( isset ( $add_data ) ) { mysql_connect(); mysql_select_db(); mysql_query(); // put in that data Header ( Location: http://you-have-data.com ); } else { print "<form action='$me?add_data' method='post'>"; print "yadda yadda"; // print out the form to enter data ?> Just an idea... Any pointers as to why this is not a good idea welcomed :)...
