You can use header to redirect the user to another page

header('Location: newpage.php');

After you have successfully processed a form submission, you actually need to redirect to the same page as the form's action="" attribute to change the browser's history for that page from a form submission to a GET request so that the browser won't attempt to resubmit the data should you browse back to that page.

using header() returned an error

using header() returned an error

Probably because you have some form of output before the use of that function.

 

You cannot echo/print anything to the screen before the use of header().

Sort your code out so there is no output before the use of header(). Or use output buffering for a lazy fix.

 

Another option would be to set a html meta redirect or use JavaScript.
