monkeytooth Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 One of 2 things I would suggest then.. 1, if all is good for your script to mail.. ad in it a header to redirect within a few seconds my code looks like this to send an email. if(isset($_POST["sendmail"])) mail($to, $subject, $emailmessage, $headers); I need for it to go to a "Thank You" page on success? if(isset($_POST["sendmail"])) { mail($to, $subject, $emailmessage, $headers); echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\" content=\"3\"; url=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html\">"; } else { } or if your page is just a blank so to speak other then your template after the mail is sent you can use a similar concept and just do an include with a thank you note php file.. Which I would suggest that over the refresh/redirect but thats me. Or you could even echo/print out a thank you note for that matter all depends how you wanna handle things I suppose..

denoteone Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Shouldn't the code below refresh the page and show http://www.bloomingcanvas.com/mike/thankyou.html when the user presses the sendmail button? because all it is doing is refreshing the current page. if(isset($_POST["sendmail"])) { mail($to, $subject, $emailmessage, $headers); echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\" content=\"3\"; url=\"http://www.bloomingcanvas.com/mike/thankyou.html\">"; } else { } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeytooth Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sorry, I was assuming you had a middle page.. inbetween the form and the actual sending of the mail, kind of like a confirmation page.. form > confirmation > thank you I would have it check via the confirmation to make sure all is good for sending, and if so then refresh/redirect to the thank you.. however if you don't want to do the confirmation concept then I would say use an include rather then a redirect.. so that way if all checks out for a sendable mail it will also include the thank you part, again all in all its up to how you want to do it..

revraz Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Think you have a quote wrong, try this instead echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2; URL=http://www.bloomingcanvas.com/mike/thankyou.html'>"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
