GingerRobot Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The problem is actually given in the error message - one of the variables in your query string (i would guess $message) contains a new line and this cannot be present in the header redirect. You can get around this by using the url_encode() function on the variables before you put them in the query string and then use the url_decode() function when you want to use the variables. However, i better solution would be to not perform a redirect at all. You're redirecting to the current page so I assume you're form is on the same page as the processing? In which case, you should just be able to alter your logic so that the form is redisplayed with the information filled in if there is an error.

Narutio Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for your reply, but i am a noob in php. so i dont understand this & i know i sudnt be using php if i dont know how to use it, all i did was copy the code from another site where it works but i cant get it to work. i just wanted to use a script for the contact info page. is this what you mean? header("Location:".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];urlencode("?subject=$subject&from=$from&message=$message&wrong_code=true"); exit; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Not quite. I mean like this: header("Location:".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].urlencode("?subject=$subject&from=$from&message=$message&wrong_code=true")); However, you'll also need to use the urldecode function on the variables on the page that you are redirecting to.
