I am wanting to forward a user on a signup or similar page (based on a few of their answers) and so far i have it split into basically a two-step process where i have on the first part, an option list with 4 choices, they hit continue or some such labled link, and then having passed all the session variables and making the decision in the next script it would forward them to the right page automatically, do I have to use meta tags to do this or is there some simple way e.g, "url=http://rightpage.php?SID"; of course without the "'s except for in the actual url

Well, off the top of my head, you could have your "next script" do some checking (if/switch statement) and then use a header-redirect that would be based-upon one of the four user choices?

[PAGE 01] ---> [NEXT SCRIPT] (what did user choose? Using $_REQUEST) ---> header refresh ---> ([URL 01] || [URL 02] || [URL 03] || .... ) ---> [URL --]

Just point your form to the script that does the checking, and then use:

header("Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.yourDomain.com/index.php?page=$var";);

Does that make sense?

Of course, how you do the refresh all depends on how your site is setup...

I am sure there are better ways though...   :)
