Re: How to run a script leaving screen output of previous script

Alex, If your link.php page has zero output to the screen, then you can do your database action and return to your main page by using a header command. header("location: mypage.php"); On your link.php code, there should be no lines of code nor blank lines before the <?php call and no echo or print statements within the php code section. Hope this helps, Hugh p.s. you could also use a $php_self action in a form to get the same results. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Vargas" <avargas@estudioav.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 12:03 AM Subject: [PHP] How to run a script leaving screen output of previous script > Hi.
