As a general comment: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to `Location`. — str, Oct 23 '11 at 12:22

Use the following code:

if(processing == success) {
  header("Location:filename");
  exit();
}

And you are good to go.

<?php
    header("Location: index.html");
?>

Just make sure nothing is actually written to the page prior to this code, or it won't work.

Use something like header( 'Location: /my-other-page.html' ); to redirect. You can't have sent any other data on the page before you do this though.
