Unless I'm misunderstanding you, something like:
<?
header("Location: http://www.php.net/";);
?>
should do the trick. No need to mess with meta refresh tags. Have your
form post to itself and at the top of the page do your data validation. If
the validation failed, set an error string and display it at the top of the
form. Otherwise, use the header() function to direct them to the next page
on your site. The only drawback is that if you need variables on the next
page you'll have to pass them as an URL parameter...
