Submitting a form and Redirecting

[gazfocus]

I have got a contact form on my site that I'm making but I want the query in the form to be sent via email to myself but also for the page to then redirect to a page notifying the user that the information has been sent.

 

Is there a way to do this? Thanks

You'd need some sort of server-side language to do all of the processing and the sending of the email

i use javascript like this :

 

if login conditions are ok then : 

<script language="javascript">
parent.location.replace  ('index.php'); /* or document.location.replace ('index.php')
document.refresh();
</script>

Thanks, but what I'm looking for is some way of redirecting only when the contents of the form have been emailed using

<form action="mailto:[b]email address[/b]" method="post" name="query">

<?php 

// If form was submitted
if ( isset($_POST['submit'])) {

   ... validate form and send email to you.



}
// Form not submited
else {
?>
<form action="<?php echo"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']"; ?>"  method="post">

... form crap
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

</form> 
<?php
}
?>

then you can use the javascript code as a javascript function and control it in onSubmit() event of <form> tag.

 

<form onSubmit="redirect()"....>

 

i don't know that is an exact solve. just a way...

You don't need to use javascript. Find a tutorial online to see how php would redirect. But in the example I gave, it is not needed since it would show up different results depending on if the form was or wasn't submitted.

That is a horrible way to mail..

 

I suggest use the php mail() function.
