You could always just use the  tag to refresh the page - or maybe just drop the necessary javascript into the page at the end that would cause the page to redirect  You could even throw that in an onload function  so once its finished  the page is redirected   lt  php    echo  htmlHeader    while  stuff       echo  stuff        echo   lt script gt window location    http   www yourdomain com  lt  script gt      gt

don t forget to put a  die  after your call to make the redirect happen before the rest of the code on the page is run threw   a  if you have header functions further down the page they will override the ones further up the code   b  im assuming you dont want the rest of the code on the page to be run and that why your putting this redirect in in the first place  maybe    example    lt  php     do something here  header  Location  http   example com thankyou php    die       code down here now wont get run    gt

Here s a solution to the  headers were already sent  problem  Assume you are validating and emailing a form  Make sure the php code is the first thing on your page    before any of the doctype and head tags and all that jazz  Then  when the POST arrives back at the page the php code will come first and not encounter the headers already sent problem
