How to redirect to another page using PHP

Question

I am building a website which includes a login page. I need to redirect the user to their profile page once they\'ve logged in successfully, but I don\'t know how to do that

Answer 1

Although not secure, (no offense or anything), just stick the header function after you set the session variable

 while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
            $_SESSION["user"] = $username;
    }
header('Location: /profile.php');
