PHP redirect not working

Question

this bit of code is not working. I am using PHP and want to redirect my user to CAD.HTML after he has submitted his data. Am I missing something obvious here. Please help!

input name="Submit " type="submit" id="Submit " value="Submit Request" onClick="Location:cad.html"

I am beginner and haven't started writing functions please let me know if it is required with some bit of help with the code

Thank you

Update

form id="post" method='post' action="mymail.php" name="post"

input name="Submit " type="submit" id="Submit " value="Submit Request" onClick="location.href=cad.html" />

"I am using PHP and want to redirect my user to CAD.HTML" -- that example is using js, not PHP — cwallenpoole

You cannot reliably use JavaScript to redirect after a submit and there is absolutely no need. Redirect in the php only. — mplungjan

<form action="process.html" method="GET">
   ... your other inputs here ....

   <input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit " value="Submit Request" />
</form>

This is the proper way of creating a form in your html

In your php, you can process the data like

$variable = $_GET['name'];

and to redirect you can use the header function:

header('Location: cad.html');

This might be what you are looking for.

ok i have made an edit now it should work, what are you trying to achieve? are you trying to send some information from one page to another?

Yes Ibrahim I am trying to collect user data send it to another page then redirect him to CAD.html ....I am using POST method

Missing quotes in the onclick. Using a submit to execute a location change is not a great idea either. Delete the first part of the answer and it is correct
