PHP Redirect Issues

Question

At the moment, I have form in my index.html file:

<div id="submit">
    <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Select your file: <input type="file" name="file"><br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload">
    </form>
</div><!--end submit-->

It runs the code I have in the upload.php file however, I would like the page to return to the index.html file.

How do I accomplish this?

Using this means that the code in the upload.php file is not executed. — Glitchezz, May 15 '14 at 17:57

After you're done processing the form in upload.php, include the code:

header('Location: index.html');
exit;

This will only work if upload.php isn't actually outputting anything (including whitespace).

The `Location` header should always (at least for now) contain a full URI. – PeeHaa May 15 '14 at 17:54

Because the spec tells us: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30 – PeeHaa May 15 '14 at 17:56
