// create email headers

<head>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        window.location = 'https://www.levelsclub.com';
    -->

Have a look at the php “header” function to redirect:


header("location: http://www.yoururl.com/page.html");

Like droopsnoot said, you can use the ‘header’ method. Just be sure to use it BEFORE sending anything else to the browser (text, etc.).
Also, you might want to check your logic with the ‘die()’ function. Doing this will stop the code to continue and it doesn’t seems like the HTML will be valid as the compiler won’t reach your HTML.
