header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
at the end of the code that the form's action leads to. If that makes sense.
What this will do is, when the code for checking login credentials has run, if it's successful, it'll go to this page so put it in a conditional.

9,767 PointsNeed a spot more detail. When do you want the redirect to happen? What's it redirecting to?
Is this when someone is logged out and they try to go to a page it redirects to the login page or it redirects back to the referrer page after successful log in?
