Ok, I have an upload code that uploads a song and creates a web page for that song. When the code is done running it want it to go to another page in the same window. Like a "Your song is now uploaded page". How would I redirect it to a new page when the code is done doing its thing?

Google or PHP.net.

As long as you havnt outputed any thing else you can use.

code:

---

header("Location: newpage");

---

But if you want it to show a message you could output a javascript redirect script with the page.
Or use a meta tag.

If you haven't outputted text or cookies or the like, you can use header("Location: somepage.php")

If it gives you a "headers already sent" error, you'll have to use JavaScript or a meta tag.



Edit: Madman was faster

Yea it gives me a "headers already sent" error. So how would I activate the javascript redirect when the php is done? Would I just put it at the end of the PHP code out of the <?php ?> tags?

Yes, it can be put like that...

code:

---

<?
// php code
?>
<!-- javascript code -->

---

Or like this...

code:

---

<?
// php code
   if no error
?>
<!-- javascript code -->
<?
   else (some error happened)
   exit
?>

Edit: note I put pseudo-code (non-PHP), just to give you an idea of how it would look. That is not correct, and should be "translated" to PHP. I'm saying this just in case.
