Custom redirect for form-edit displayed in Views header

Question

I have a content type called 'Checklist' which I bring forward using Views, in it's node-edit form.

I wrote PHP code within the header in order to do this, here it is:

<?php 

    $view = views_get_current_view();
    $arg0 = $view->args[0];

    $nodeToLoad = $view->result[0]->nid; //I get the node to load from Fields within my view
    module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');

    $node = node_load($nodeToLoad);
    dsm($nodeToLoad);
    $edit_page = drupal_get_form('page_node_form', $node);

    $edit_page['additional_settings']['#access'] = FALSE;
    $edit_page['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'redirect_submit';
    print drupal_render($edit_page );

    function redirect_submit($form, &$form_state){
        $form_state['redirect'] = 'www.google.com';
    }
?>

Now what I want is to add a custom redirect upon saving this particular form.

I've tried this to no avail:

    $edit_page['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'redirect_submit';
    print drupal_render($edit_page );

    function redirect_submit($form, &$form_state){
        $form_state['redirect'] = 'www.google.com';
    }

Is it possible to this within the Views header?

Notes:

• I have also done this with the Rules module but I'd like to learn if it's possible to do with PHP code in the Views header so I don't split functionality in 2 parts of my project.

• This can also be easily done using a custom hook but again, if it's possible to do this within the Views header then that's the trick I'm looking for.

Thanks.

You could to use hook_form_FORM_ID. Something like this:

function mymodule_form_page_node_form_ater(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
   if(current_path() == 'page/where/my/view/is'){
     $form_state['redirect'] = 'page/to/redirect';
   }
}

If you don't want to use a hook, you can do something like this:

 $edit_page['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'redirect_submit';

Then,

 function redirect_submit($form, &$form_state){
  $form_state['redirect'] = 'path/to/rediect';
 }

Still it is bad practice to inlcude php in your views header. You should implement a custom area handler.
