Header("Location:") Problem

[shaunrigby]

Hi guys,

 

i am an amateur at PHP and I am building a website for a client, however i seem to have a problem with the header part of the script.

 

I have a simple form-mail script, and when the mail is sent the form relocates back to the home page, this is all fine and dandy, however the URL to the script processing page, still appears in the address bar; is this an IE7 fault? or is it actually PHP? is there a way around this?

 

Cheers Guys

If any script is re-directed with the Header("location:"); function it should change that in the address bar, it may be a bug in IE7.

 

What version of PHP are you using?

I Dont Think Its IE7 Beacuse I Just Ran A Simple Test In My IE7 Browser

And Everything Seems Fine

 

 

Have You Got A Link To That Page So I Can Test?

Yea, if you visit http://www.spacebarcomputers.com, and click on Contact us, fill random data into the form and press send, you will the be redirected to the index page, however the form processing page is still shown in the address bar. The script is below (note this is a BETA script)

 

<?php

//Polyglot feedback form processing

@include_once 'includes/variables.php';

$formCheck = TRUE;
$reasonCount = 0;

$formFrom = $_POST['Name'];
$formSubject = $_POST['Subject'];
$formMessage = $_POST['message'];

if($formFrom == NULL){
	$formCheck = FALSE;
	$reasonCount++;
	$failureReason = "<li>You must give a name.</li>";
}

if($formSubject == NULL){
	$formCheck = FALSE;
	$reasonCount++;
	$failureReason = "<li>You must give a message subject.</li>";
}

if($formMessage == NULL){
	$formCheck = FALSE;
	$reasonCount++;
	$failureReason = "<li>You must type a message.</li>";
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

//If formCheck = true, send mail

if($formCheck = TRUE){

	//Compose Headers
	$headers = "From: Polyglot Website <$sendMailFrom>\r\n";
	$headers .= "To: $sendMailName <$sendMailTo>\r\n";
	$headers .= "Message-ID: <" . md5(date("GHs")) . "@" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ">\r\n";
	$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
	$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHPMailer [version " . phpversion() . "]\r\n";
	$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n";

	//Compose Subject
	$subject = "You have received a message from your website.";

	//Compose Message
	$message = "
Dear $sendMailName,

$formFrom, has send you a message with the subject, $formSubject, the message is below;

$formMessage";

	//Send Mail

	$mailStatus = mail($sendMailAddress,$subject,$message,$headers);

	if ($mailStatus = TRUE){
			header("Location:" . $websiteURL . "?pageid=9295");
	}
}
