Form Emailer will not reach success page

[cfgcjm]

ok i fixed the session_start()

 

is there another command that i can use to redirect to a page?

[shocker-z]

can use a bit of dirty html code but some browsers may have this blocked

 

<?
session_start();
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$person = $_POST["person"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$today = date("d, M Y");
$recipient = "millercj@etown.edu";
$subject = "Prayer Request";
$forminfo ="From: $name\nEmail: $email\nForm Submitted: $today\nPerson to add: $person\nReason: $reason\n\n";
$sent = mail($recipient, $subject, $forminfo, "From: $email");
if($sent)
{
  echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestsuccess.php">';
else
{
  echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.stjohnsuccjonestown.org/portal/requestno.php">';
}
?>

Well...Firefox & Internet Explorer support that so as much as it irritates me to say it; i'm gonna give up and take the easy way out with the html.

 

Thanks for all your help...and sorry for the confusion

I have an off the wall idea...

 

Use a variable.

 

If message sent, $Success=1, message failed, $Success=0.

 

Then down in the code, use if statements.

if($Success==1)
{
     $ShowForm=0; 
     Do this
}

if($Success==0)
{
     $ShowForm=1; //Show the form again with the errors
     Do this
}

For the form processing, try action to self and at the top of the page, try an isset for the submit button and 'include' the error checking and then if no errors, change the variable values.

 

if($ShowForm==1)
{
     Show the form
}

else
{
     Don't show the form. Show something else.
}

 

Confused yet?

 

Hopefully this helped.

if you look back through the thread i echo'ed stuff back and it was checking if it had sent or not as it got to success and echo'ed success but it was the header() that wasn't working nor returning an error message.
