Jessica Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 The actual mail() command does not have that header. Follow example: Example 1115. Sending mail with extra headers. and just change the values, not what is being sent in mail().

Jessica Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Dude the code was working fine, all you had to do was add back your line for the header('Location: ') and instead you stuck it somewhere in the middle of the mail command.

Jessica Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yeah I'm not pissed off I just think if you don't see what the problem is there, you're attempting stuff that is above your erm...learning curve right now. Like, grab a book or two on PHP. Or even any programming language.
