This is a small function to redirect in cases where you cannot use header.
This is how I have used it.
if (!headers_sent())
{
header("Location: your url here");
exit;
}
else
redirect("your url");
function redirect($filename) {
if (!headers_sent())
header('Location: '.$filename);
else {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'window.location.href="'.$filename.'";';
echo '</script>';
echo '<noscript>';
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='.$filename.'" />';
echo '</noscript>';
}
}
Hope this helps you.

Subject: Re: using meta http-equiv in php
Alternatively, you can provide a link to the thank you page in the
redirecting page, if you think meta refresh is restricted.
one.php:
//form elements.. etc
two.php:
//db operations
<meta tag>
echo 'Details entered in database';
echo '<a href="thankyou. php">Click here if you are not redirected within 5
seconds</a>' ;
thankyou.php
//your message.
