how to redirect user in php

Question

this is my code:

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['sub']))
    {
        $sql=("insert into info_user(u_fname, u_lname, u_pass, u_number, u_email)values('".($_POST['fname'])."','".($_POST['lname'])."','".($_POST['pass'])."','".($_POST['phone'])."','".($_POST['email'])."')");
        mysql_query($sql, $link);
        echo
        "you are registered successfully"
        "<a href="?action=login">'Login'<a/>";
    }
?>

I have problem with this one : echo "'Login'" there is a php page which contain nothing but some includes and the page with codes above is included. now i want to redirect user to login page, but i don't want to mention a new link.

is there a way to do so?

**Danger**: You are using [an **obsolete** database API](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12859942/19068) and should use a [modern replacement](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php). You are also **vulnerable to [SQL injection attacks](http://bobby-tables.com/)** that a modern API would make it easier to [defend](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/60174/best-way-to-prevent-sql-injection-in-php) yourself from. — Quentin, Sep 29 '13 at 16:09

$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
$extra = 'mypage.php?action=login';
header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra");

(Source: Manual)

Make sure there is no kind of output (neither php nor html) before you send the header.

The Location header requires an absolute URI (even if most browsers will quietly recover from the error). – Quentin Sep 29 '13 at 16:10
Really? Wow, didn't know that. I'll update my answer accordingly. – TheWolf Sep 29 '13 at 16:13
