I don't know, why you have to redirect to another page. If you have
some good Form handler mechanism, you can do like this (in the same
page--even witout losing the clarity/readability/etc):

if ( $foo->isFormSubmitted($_POST, 'deposit') )
{
$foo->isValidDepositFields() and
$foo->addToDepositTable();
}
else if ( $foo->isFormSubmitted($_POST, 'withdraw') )
{
...
}
