Echo message after form submit to send.php on included page cant be positioned?

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

Hello i need some help with a php script that sends email and then it reloades and includes the same site the email form is on.

Now i can only display the echo message "email successfully sent" on the bottom or the right of the page after it reloades, but id like it to be displayed under submit button.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance!

Here the send.php:

<? include 'kontakt.html'; ?>
<div id="form1" ><?

$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'From: '.$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname'].' <'.$_POST['email'].'>' . "\r\n";

$html = '<html><body';
echo 'Message successfully sent.';
$html .= 'Name: '.$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname'].'<br>';
$html .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email'].'<br>';
$html .= 'Phone: '.$_POST['phone'].'<br><br>';
$html .= 'Message:'.$_POST['message'];

$html .= '</body></html>';

$studio = $_POST['studio'];

if ($studio == 1) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 2) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 3) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 4) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 5) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';

mail($adress,'Message from styluxhair.de',$html,$header);

Since it doesn't look like you're actually checking whether the message was successfully sent or not, you could make it work like this:

1. Add a hidden "redirect" field to your form that redirects to the same page the form is on, but passes a variable indicating the message has been sent.

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://your.host/to/file.html?sent=sent">

2. Add a $_GET statement at the top of the page to receive the SENT variable:

$sent=$_GET['sent'];

3. Add on IF statement to the bottom of the form, underneath the submit button, that displays if $sent is present:

if (isset($sent)) {echo "<p>Message sent.</p>";}

Thx for your reply

i have now added what you told me to the kontakt.html but it still doesnt show the sent message.

instead it lets my page look a bit displaced

maybe i should add that the kontakt.html holds the form and sends the data to the send.php to be sent via mail which works great then the send.php includes kontakt.html into itself.

so should i add anything to the .php dile instead of the html document?

raytri · December 8, 2009

Remove the kontact.html include from the send.php file.

The code I gave you tells the browser to do two things:

1. Send the form data to "send.php" for processing;

2. Instead of displaying "send.php", display the page listed in the "redirect" input field.

With send.php including kontact.html, the browser is trying to display the page twice.

Also, make sure the "redirect" URL is an absolute link (with the full "http://").

raytri · December 8, 2009

The other problem might be that your form page must have the .php extension. So it should be "kontact.php" instead of "kontact.html".

Also, make sure your $_GET statement and IF statement are wrapped in <?php ?> tags.

You can also remove the "Message sent" echo from send.php. It's not harming anything by being there, but it will never be seen by anyone.

If it still doesn't work, please post the relevant code from kontact.php

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

ok thank you im trying it right now

ill let you know in a bit if it works

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

ok i tried it now,

i renamed the kontakt.html to kontakt.php

then in the head i added <?PHP $sent=$_GET['sent']; ?> at the bottom of the head.

</script>
<?PHP $sent=$_GET['sent']; ?>

then i put the

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.html?sent=sent">

into the mailform of the kontakt.php like this:

<form name="mailform" method="post" action="send.php" style="margin:15px;">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent=sent">
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

<td colspan="4"><br>Ihre Nachricht*<br><textarea name="message" style="width: 100%;  height: 150px;"></textarea></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<input value="Senden" type="submit"></form>

And then added the

<?PHP 
if (isset($sent)) {echo "<p>Message sent.</p>";}
?>

under the submit button like this:

<input value="Senden" type="submit"></form>
<?PHP 
if (isset($sent)) {echo "<p>Message sent.</p>";}
?>

but after clicking submit it just takes me to the send.php and stays there, the mail is sent though.

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

oh and my php file now looks like this:

<?

$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'From: '.$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname'].' <'.$_POST['email'].'>' . "\r\n";

$html = '<html><body';

$html .= 'Name: '.$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname'].'<br>';
$html .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email'].'<br>';
$html .= 'Phone: '.$_POST['phone'].'<br><br>';
$html .= 'Message:'.$_POST['message'];

$html .= '</body></html>';

$studio = $_POST['studio'];

if ($studio == 1) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 2) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 3) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 4) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';
if ($studio == 5) $adress = 'bloodmonic@gmail.com';

mail($adress,'Message from styluxhair.de',$html,$header);


?>

raytri · December 8, 2009

You've got nearly everything right. But looking at your page source, the value of your redirect field is still using "kontact.html":

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.html?sent=sent">

It should use "kontact.php":

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent=sent">

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

yea i just noticed and changed that but its still not working

any ideas?

thx for your time btw

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

dont i have to add something in the php file?

because i m stuck on the send.php after clicking submit maybe something like go back to site or something?

raytri · December 8, 2009

Now you've got extra quote marks in the redirect URL:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent="sent"">

Copy this code *exactly* and replace your redirect input with it:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent=sent">

You don't have to make any changes to send.php, because with redirect the form data is sent to send.php for processing but the browser is sent to the redirect URL. That's the whole point of redirect.

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

yea i played around a bit with the quote marks but its not working i dunno

i have exactly the code that you posted.

i wonder why it sends me to the send.php site all the time.

i mean, shouldnt it just send the data to send.php and then let send.php handle the sending without going to send.php?

thats what the redirect is for right?

raytri · December 8, 2009

It's possible the problem is that the input line has some HTML errors. They shouldn't really affect the function, but.... try this. Replace the redirect line with this:

<p><input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent=sent" /></p>

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

not working either

i also tried replacing the post method of the form with get and now it shows the redirect in the url bar but still is stuck on the send.php

raytri · December 8, 2009

Hmm. Sorry to say, I'm not sure why that's not working. I'm either missing something, or there are errors in the page elsewhere that are messing this up.

Let's try a different route:

1. Delete the "redirect" line.

2. Add the following to the bottom of your send.php file:

header ('Location: http://hexagon.jlkfree.com/kontakt.php?sent=sent');

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

gives me this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/hexagonj/public_html/send.php:2) in /home/hexagonj/public_html/send.php on line 25

i feel like i wanna hang myslef lol

raytri · December 8, 2009

Hang in there!

Try putting the "header" line at the top of the send.php file.

Hexagon · December 8, 2009

OMG IT WORKS!

Thank you so much man this is awesome!
