Look at the header() function in the php documentation. A call like
header("Location: http://example.com/mypage.php?etc") will cause an
instant redirect to that page.

If you want the script to know the URL of the page that called it, use
the predefined variable $_SERVER[] - see
http://us.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

For example, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address
http://example.com/mypage.php?etc would be /mypage.php/etc

Hope that helps. -A
