How can I get a form to redirect once all validation has been met ?

Hello

How can I get a form to redirect once all validation has been met and also carry the information from the form along to the new page ?

You can use the header() function after validation has been completed. 

header('Location: redirect.php');
exit();

EDIT: You can send the form data in a $SESSION store.

form.php

session_start();

if ($_POST['submitted']) {
    if ($no_error) {
        $_SESSION['form_data'] = $_POST;
        header ("Location: redirect.php"); 
        exit();
    }
}

redirect.php

session_start();

if ($_SESSION['form_data']) {
    # do your thing here
}
