Saji,

Check out the PHP function "header".
http://www.php.net/manual/function.header.php3

You send a header command before you output anything else to the browser, so
decide where you want to send the person, then send a header.

Like this:
header("Location: http://www.php.net");

Peace out, BRO

You don't change the ACTION, because that would require you to be psychic
to know in advance which ACTION to use for the username/password they
type.

But, in the *receiving* PHP script, you lookup their username and where
you want to send them.

Then, you can either write the receiving script to present different
contents based on their login, or you can use a redirect (location) header
to send them where you like:

<?php
//Look up $username/$password
//If valid, look up their $homepage as well
header("Location: $homepage");
?>
