<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<header>
</header>
<?php
    $myffirend=" ";
$allmyffirend=" ";
$user=$_GET['user'];
    // this info save in my db

   redirect here // after save the information

   other code

?>

Check for using [Header location](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php) — Debflav, Apr 01 '14 at 12:55
header("Location: ".$url); Make sure you don't send html before headers are sent — Akshaya Shanbhogue, Apr 01 '14 at 12:57

You can inject javascript script with redirection:

echo "<script>window.location = 'http://www.yourdomain.com'</script>";

You can't set headers after printing anything – Iñaki Soria Apr 01 '14 at 12:57
That's true, my previous solution was wrong for this purpose. – mareckmareck Apr 01 '14 at 13:17

It's not posible to redirect using PHP after printing some code. I suggest to move the code to the start of the file. If this is not possible, you could do it using javascript:

window.location='your_url.php';

If you want redirect after page load

if (window.addEventListener) {
   window.addEventListener("load", afterLoadRedirect, false);
} else {
   window.attachEvent('onload', afterLoadRedirect);
}

function afterLoadRedirect(){
  window.location='your url';
}

You can try the refresh meta tag (seconds, followed by destination):

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://example.com/" />

The W3C recommends against using it for this purpose but I'm assuming you want to briefly show some sort of message before it changes. If not, stick with changing the Location header which must be done before any output:

header('Location: destination.php');

Use javaScript inside php:

echo '<script> window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com";</script>';
