You can also use JavaScript to redirect the user to another page.
After your form has finished updating your database, do the following:
<?php
echo "<script
language=\"javascript\">window.location.href='NEXT_PAGE.html';</script>";
?>
Note: Your client's browser must support JavaScript for this to work.
As suggested by Hugh, it's much better to use the php header(); tag.
But, this will only work if you haven't already passed a header to your
page.
