If the result of the form being processed is that you're forwarding the user to another page, why not place it at the top?

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if (isset($_POST['update_cart'])) {
// do your stuff and redirect
}
?>
<html> ... do your other stuff .. </html>

This also has the bonus that if you want to display an error message on the form, you can set one at the top of the page that will be displayed later on only if it's found to be set.
