You get to output data *OR* redirect to a new page.
Only one will be displayed. Which do you want displayed?
If it's not going to be seen, don't output it.
You have several options:
- Output "guest added successfully", followed by the form to add another
guest.
- Output a page indicating the guest was added successfully, with a
"add another guest" button on it.
- Write a page which, if form data is provided stores it, then, whether
or not form data is provided, outputs another copy of the form
(which submits to itself).
