May be use like this  if  match  gt  0     msg    Login Complete  Thanks    echo   lt a href     link address    gt link lt  a gt       else    msg    Login Failed  lt br   gt  Please make sure that you enter the correct  details and that you have activated your account

You need to set the location header as follows   header  Location  http   www example com       Replacing http   www example com of course with the url of your landing page   Add this where you have finished logging the user in   Note  When redirecting the user will be immediately redirected so you re message probably won t display   Additionally  you need to move your PHP code to the top of the file for this solution to work   On another side note  please see my comment above regarding the use of the deprecated mysql statements and consider using the newer  safer and improved mysqli or PDO statements

You could also provide a link to the page after login and have it auto redirect using javascript after 10 seconds

First of all  move all your PHP code to the top  Without it  my code below wont work   To do the redirect  use   header  Location  http   www example com       Also  please consider my advice  Since it s not the first question today and all your questions are related to basics  you should consider reading some good PHP book to understand how things work   Here you can find useful links to free books  https   stackoverflow com tags php info
