Just write this at the bottom of your php files (like mentioned previously):

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php header("Location:htmlcode.html");exit; ?>
<?php header("Location:htmlcode.html");exit; ?>

or for more generic return code (it will return you to the previous page):

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php header("Location:{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}");exit; ?>
<?php header("Location:{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}");exit; ?>

You MUST ensure that no text (error messages or echoed php or any HTML) is output to screen before the header function is called or you will get an error.
