How make a redirection ?

Hello

First sorry for my english

I have a question, I must redirect my customer on another web site after complete a form.
I have a simple form with only two field $nom and $extension and a sumbit button, this form must be validate on another web site 'mywhois.website.fr'

I try 3 method and all works fine inside a 'classic' web site but with Drupal and my theme no way :
In drupal, no error message and no redirect.

1/- Redirect with PHP Header Location

<?
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']))
{
$nom=$HTTP_POST_VARS['domain_name'];
$extension=$HTTP_POST_VARS['tld'];
header("Location: https://mywhois.website.fr/index.php?domain_names=".$nom.".".$extension."");
?>

2/- Redirect with Javascript

<?php
function  js_redirect($url, $seconds=0) {
echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\">\n";
echo "<!-- hide code from displaying on browsers with JS turned off\n\n";
echo "function redirect() {\n";
echo "window.location = \"" . $url . "\";\n";
echo "}\n\n";
echo "timer = setTimeout('redirect()', '" . ($seconds*1000) . "');\n\n";
echo "-->\n";
echo "</script>\n";

return true;
}

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']))
{
$nom=$HTTP_POST_VARS['domain_name'];
$extension=$HTTP_POST_VARS['tld'];
js_redirect("https://mywhois.website.fr/index.php?domain_names=".$nom.".".$extension."" ,0);}
?>

Converting Frontpage site

I have a Frontpage site that has been around for years, has good Google rank and visibility and a lot of visitors.

(I do have a few Drupal sites that were developed from scratch)

The only reason for considering change is that the site owner wants to be able to edit and make minor changes herself. There is no need at this time for using any specific Drupal features such as collaberation, viewer comments, forums. Perhaps blogging might be added.

I have a few questions

Timing and Logistics

Hello,

I am planning a migration of the existing static html site http://www.kollaranderson.com to drupal.

I have been working through the book "Using Drupal" and it has given me a good head start on my learning and has confirmed my assumption that using Drupal was a decent and viable choice. The site will be a combination of image galleries, blogs, storefront, promotion and education for Amys art, paintings and techniques. I have been wrestling with the question of what is the best order in which to develop the site using Drupal and then moving domains around while trying to have as little down time as possible. I have read many of the related threads here on the forums but am still unclear in relation to parts of the site that need to be set while on the actual domain. I have a second domain I have been using to learn Drupal development but am unclear on how far I can build the site there before I need it on the main domain so I can set up the payment gateways, SSL, static IP, etc? It is my understanding I will need to do these things on the primary domain that the site will reside on as they are paid services that rely on the DN. Are there other features I may want to develop that will need to be built on the primary domain name to be functional also? Social linking? Google Analytics? How are others dealing with these types of site transitions?

From PHPBB3.0.5 to Drupal 6.15

Hello All,

I have been running frag1st.com manually with phpbb 3.x for a while now and I would like to install drupal on the main page import the phpbb database including users, posts, threads, etc all into drupal so the whole site only runs drupal, site management and forum.

Is that possible?

Many Thanks
