question about after a script is executed

[MSUK1]

so a user fills out a form, data gets sent to send.php then if successful redirects back to index.php, how on that index.php can i get it to say, sent successfully?

[waynew]

After sending, redirect back to index with a GET variable such as

 

 

header('Location: index.php?sent=Y');

 

Then on index.php

 

if(isset($_GET['send']) && $_GET['send'] == "Y"){
   echo 'Success';
}

 

[jcbones]

send.php

//header redirect.
header('Location: http://mydomain.com/index.php?sent=1');

 

index.php

$message = NULL;
if(isset($_GET['sent'])) {
  $message = 'Sent Successfully!';
}


//decide on your message location, and echo the request.
echo $message;

sorry guys, if their was an error, i would return as ?sent=error but (using jcbones method) ?sent=ANYTHING returns the success code how could i add a seperate

[waynew]

You could change my code to:

 

header('Location: index.php?sent=N');

 

if(isset($_GET['send']) && $_GET['send'] == "Y"){
   echo 'Success';
}
else if(isset($_GET['send']) && $_GET['send'] == "N"){
   echo 'Error';
}

with your method im finding a problem, this happens,

 

http://msukgroup.co/Contact

 

nothing now loads?

 

however if you goto

 

http://www.msukgroup.co/Contact/?send=Y

 

it loads

[MSUK1]

<?php
$message = NULL;
if(isset($_GET['send']) && $_GET['send'] == "Y"){
  $message = '- Thankyou, we will reply within 24 Hours';
}
else if(sset($_GET['send']) && $_GET['send'] == "N"){
  $message = '- Sorry, an error occured please try again';
}
?>

 

and then where i need the message displayed:

			<fieldset><legend>Online Form <?php echo $message; ?></legend>

[waynew]

I misspelled isset on the else if. Retry my code.
