headers question

[ktstowell]

Hey there!

Can anyone tell me why when i add the header redirect on the  top of my script my form no longer send the form data via email?

 

<?php

header ('Location: http://www.blueleafss.com/contact/thanks.html');

exit ();

 

  if (isset($_POST['Sumbit'])) {

    echo '<h1>Thank you for contacting Blue Leaf Systems and Support!</h1>';

}else{

 

$fname = $_POST['fname'];

$lname = $_POST['lname'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$slocation = $_POST['slocation'];

$clocation = $_POST['clocation'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

 

$text = '';

foreach ($_POST as $name => $value) {

  if (is_array($value)) {

    $text .= sprintf("%s: %s\n", $name, join('', $value));

} else {

  $text .= sprintf("%s: %s\n", $name, $value);

}

}

$headers = 'From: ' . $_GET['from'] . "\r\n" .

mail('myemail@mysite.com', 'Form data', $text);

}

?>

 

any and all help would be uber appreciated!

 

thank you!

Errr, you've obviously misunderstood how exit works.

just to clarify (after reading some other topics on headers) i receive no errors when i run this script, it simply does not send any info to my email unless the header is removed.

As someone already stated, it's because you kill (exit) the script before it gets there... This has nothing to do with the header() call but rather exit; much like the following will never print "Hello World"

<?php
exit;
echo "Hello World"; // I will never be printed
