Hi,

I have a form on my site for users to email links to friends, i want a confirmation message to apear after they have submited the form, somthing like "Your Message(s) Have Been Sent!"

I have included my code for you to look at so you understand better.

[code]<?php
ob_start();
include("connect.php");
if(!$UsErId)
{
$redirect = $SITEURL."login.php";
header("Location:$redirect");
}
if($user_id != '')
{
$msgDisplay = "This profile is owsome";
}
else if($audio_id != '')
{
$msgDisplay = "This music is owsome";
}
else
{
$msgDisplay = "Invitation to join ".$SITENAME;
}
if($action_send)
{
$user = select_user_from_audio($UsErId);
$ex_recipients = explode(",",$recipients);
$count_recipients = count($ex_recipients);
if($user_id)
{
$msg_link = "<a href=".$SITEURL."profile.php?user_id=$user_id&ch=u&fla=profile target=_blank>Here</a>";
$msg_subject = $user[username]." has sent one profile to view.";
$mail_msg =
"hello
".$msg_subject."
".$message."
Click ".$msg_link." to view the Profile.
Thanks for using ".$SITENAME."!

Regards,
The ".$SITENAME." Team
";
if(($count_recipients > 0) && ($ex_recipients[0] != ''))
{
for($i=0;$i<$count_recipients;$i++)
{
mail($ex_recipients[0],$msg_subject,$mail_msg);
}
}
else
{
$ERROR = "Please enter atleast one Email address";
}
}
else if($audio_id)
{
if($audio_id == '')
{
$audio_id = 1;
}
$msgDisplay = "This music is owsome";

You really could clean that up a bit.

Conventionally.

it is just done with
[code]<?php
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "success message here";
}else {
echo "Failure message here";
}
?>[/code]

Or, the more eye-appealing way is to make an actual HTML template of the error or success message, and either echo that out, or redirect the browser to the stored html file.

[code]
<?php

$success = "<img src='yourdomain.com/images/success.jpg' align='left'> <font color='red' size='2'>Your message(s) have been sent!<br></font>";
$failure= "<img src='yourdomain.com/images/failure.jpg' align='left'> <font color='red' size='2'>There was an error sending your message.<br></font>";

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo $success;
}else {
echo $failure;
}

?>
[/code]

Or

[code]
<?php

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "window.location='forms/success.html'";
}else {
echo "window.location='forms/failure.html";
}

?>
[/code]
