Hi there,

 

If anyone has a spare minute, id really appreciate someone casting their eye over this and seeing if there's anything obviously wrong.  Writing to the txt file works fine, but the redirect to the thankyou.html page doesn't.  Cheers Guys.

 

<?PHP

$filename = "output.txt"; #CHMOD to 666
$forward = 1; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no
$location = "thankyou.html"; #set page to redirect to, if 1 is above

## set time up ##

$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");

## mail message ##

$msg = "";

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) .", ". $value . ", ";
}

$msg .= "\n";

$fp = fopen ($filename, "a"); # w = write to the file only, create file if it does not exist, discard existing contents
if ($fp) {
fwrite ($fp, $msg);
fclose ($fp);
}
else {
$forward = 2;
}

if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else if ($forward == 0) {
echo ("Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.");
}
else {
"Error processing form. Please contact the webmaster";
}

?> 

 

Many thanks,

 

Mike

You need an echo statement here:

 

else {
echo "Error processing form. Please contact the webmaster";
}

 

And you should call exit after the location call:

 

if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
exit;
}

 

Other then those two minor issues it looks fine.
