PHP email form re-direct

[schwinghammer]

Hey people, I'm new to the forum and new to PHP.

 

I'm putting together a PHP email submit form. It's kind of a patchwork quilt of code, but it works...kind of.

 

I have the fields and the submit button and a mailer.php file that directs the email. here's the code of that file:

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "NEW MESSAGE FROM WEBSITE";
$fname_field = $_POST['fname'];
$lname_field = $_POST['lname'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$website_field = $_POST['website'];
$coffee_field = $_POST['coffee'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$body = "FirstName: $fname_field\n LastName: $lname_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Website: $website_field\n Coffee: $coffee_field\n Message:\n $message";

mail($to, $subject, $body);


header("Location: http://www.blindacre.com/");die; 
}
else {
header("Location: http://www.blindacre.com/");die; 
}

?>

 

If I use the 'echo' command instead of the 'header' everything works fine, except it's just an ugly white page that says whatever i tell it to. What I would like to do is re-direct the user to a nicely designed page and the 'header();' example is what I found, however I can't get it to work right. It's entirely possible that my syntax is way off.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "NEW MESSAGE FROM WEBSITE";
$fname_field = $_POST['fname'];
$lname_field = $_POST['lname'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$website_field = $_POST['website'];
$coffee_field = $_POST['coffee'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$body = "FirstName: $fname_field\n LastName: $lname_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Website: $website_field\n Coffee: $coffee_field\n Message:\n $message";

mail($to, $subject, $body);


header("Location: http://www.blindacre.com/");die; 
}

 

The else section is outside of the if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { code so is automatically redirecting you to the site before you see the form.

Thanks, works swimmingly!
