Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well today. You all have been very helpful to me I want to first thank you before I ask for some more help. I am new to any kind of codeing and what I need to know today is, I want to redirect users directly after registration to a "one time offer page" so what i need to know is A. what type of code or script is this? B. Where in this code would I insert this code to have it redirect the user successfully to a OTO. The redirect code is: "<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url="http://www.mydomain.com/one-time-offer.php">"

The registration page template code Is: " %%TEMPLATE:header_clean%%

HTML Code:

<center>
<table border="0" width="80%">
        <tr>
                <td valign="top" bgcolor="#F7F9D2">
                <blockquote>
                <p><br>
                 <b><font color=navy size=2 face=arial>Registration Complete!</font></b>
                 <p>
                  <font color=black size=2 face=arial>
                  You have succesfully registered. Please login your account:
                  </font>

	</td></tr>
</table>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
               <p>
                </blockquote>
                </td>

redirect users directly after registration

I would use

PHP Code:


			
header('location:one-time-offer.php');

after the registration has been processed.

You could pass some sort of id or check on a session variable to ensure the person does not try to return to the page for additional offers.

Regarding wirehopper's answer: That is off course assuming you are using PHP, which would be my choice. Your meta redirect will not work because it will redirect users without them having even pressed submit. Google "php forms" and many builders will come up for your aid. What you will do is put wirehoper's code near the end of the code when all the processing is done.
