how do I redirect my php login to a higher folder?

Question

I have a script in website.com/login/, it contains all the files and forms need to proccess user authentication and contains the forms as well. I have the main login form on my main index, website.com/index.php. I have successfully directed the form to post /login/login-exec.php, but once the script has run it redirects to /login/login-success.php, not website.com/index.php?od=logsucc. How would i go about telling the login-exec.php to redirect to the main folder of the website instead of /login/?

use

header( 'Location: /index.php?od=logsucc' );

the leading / says go back to the site root directory.

I'm gonna give that a try, i'll let ya know if it worked in a few moments. – DxVerm aka Xeno May 01 '13 at 23:27
on my domain it works aka mydomain.com/index.php – DxVerm aka Xeno May 02 '13 at 00:23
but on the server level hostingsite.com/~user/index.php its telling me this: HTTP_Exception_404 [ 404 ]: Unable to find a route to match the URI: index.php – DxVerm aka Xeno May 02 '13 at 00:24
Ok try this header( 'Location: ../index.php?od=logsucc' ); That says go back one level and look for index.php – RiggsFolly May 02 '13 at 00:28
it actually reroutes to hostingsite.com/index.php instead of. – DxVerm aka Xeno May 02 '13 at 00:29
hostingsite.com/~user/ – DxVerm aka Xeno May 02 '13 at 00:29
