Switch around your logic. You cant use a header ~after~ you have output cause output causes php to automatically send headers

 

echo $results;<<<< output

     

    if ($results > 0)

      {

 

          // Insert information to the database

          mysql_query("UPDATE members SET Password='$Password' WHERE Email='$email'");

 

          //Send them to login

          header("Location:http://oddnerdrum.info/success.html");<<<header after output

Nice. If need be remember, you can use ob_start to send a header after pushing content, if need be.
