Need help with php coding...

[LuckyTaxi]

Ok ... I have a php script that inputs names into a databse. if it's successful in doing so i would like to redirect user to the main page.

here's what i have so far. I have it display a generic message like "Successful" but i would like to return the user to the main page. obviously that last line didn't work and the page goes nowhere.

<?

@ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "ki3_list", "!list!");

if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database!";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("ki3_list");
$query = "insert into list values
('$email')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result)
echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' content='0'; url='index.html'>";
?>

You can use a javascript to directly the user...

EDIT: Something like this:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
location.replace("http://www.yahoo.com");
-->
</script>

 

[kt]

use

header("Location: success.html")

and redirect to main page using meta tag in success.html
