What is the PHP command to load a URL? I am trying to open a page after processing a new entry into a mysql database. I have successfully inserted the record, but now I want to take the user back to the main page (from the page where they just inserted the new record) without any further interaction.

thanks,
kman

If you want to just show them the content, you can use the readfile() command:

Code:
int readfile ( string filename [, bool use_include_path [, resource context]])

Or, if you want to do a redirect:

Code:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

You can read about these things at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/index.php

Anyone have a suggestion for a good text editor for coding php? pico just isn't cutting it. I have kde installed if that increases my options any.

Try:
Vim-X11 (basically vi but with correct highlighting for code) http://www.vim.org/

Bluefish http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/

xemacs (similar to Vim-X11) http://www.xemacs.org/
