REDIRECT to thankyou Page

[humair77]

I need to redirect to a static thankyou page after a user submit the form. I used header("Location: thankyou.html"); to redirect the page but it is NOT working ... Please let me know what is the best way to redirect this different page after form submission.

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_PARSE);

define("ADMIN_MAIL", "jb@bwp.net");

define("HOST_NAME", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

define("PHP_SELF", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

define('FORM_RECIPIENT', 'webmaster@lenapebuilder.net');

$isHideForm = false;

if( $HTTP_POST_VARS["formmail_submit"] ){

header("Location: thankyou.html");

exit();

}

?>

 

<?php

 

$ip = $_POST['ip'];

$httpref = $_POST['httpref'];

$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent'];

$customer_name = $_POST['customer_name'];

$customer_email = $_POST['customer_email'];

$customer_address = $_POST['customer_address'];

$customer_city = $_POST['customer_city'];

$customer_state = $_POST['customer_state'];

$customer_zip = $_POST['customer_zip'];

$customer_phone = $_POST['customer_phone'];

$customer_email = $_POST['customer_email'];

 

$subject = CustomerContact_Form;

 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Name:  $customer_name \n

Address: $customer_address \n

City: $customer_city \n

State: $customer_state \n

Zip: $customer_zip \n

Phone: $customer_phone \n

";

 

$from = "From: $customer_email\r\n";

mail("webmaster@lenape.net", $subject, $message, $from );

?>

How is it not working? Is it throwing an error?

 

Also, make sure no html is before the header("Location... part. This includes echoing or printing any text.

And which version of php are you using?

This works to, but uses javascript.

 

<?php

if( $HTTP_POST_VARS["formmail_submit"] )
{
    echo '<script>parent.location = 'thankyou.html';</script>';
}
?>

 

Bizarre but works

try putting the if statement where the header is in the first few lines of the code. are you getting a header alerady sent error? sometimes header doesnt work like it should if there are other things before it.

Only works if they have javascript turned on.

[Isityou]

Most people have javascript enabled.

 

Does this work?

 

if( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["formmail_submit"])  ){
header("Location: thankyou.html");
exit();
}

This makes no sense to me.  Since there is no FORM on that page, is this being called from another page?  If so, and the header does work, that means all the code below it won't even get called.

 

May also want to use $_POST as well.

Most people have javascript enabled.

 

Most isn't all. If you are doing an amateur site it doesn't matter, but if you are programming real, professional sites, that fact cannot be overlooked.

Most is the majority, your chances of someone being the minority of that group would be low.

 

 

Go with HEADER("Location:index.php") or something...

 

Or you can use a cheap meta refresh method

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;url=http://www.codeave.com">

Like I say, you can afford to ignore the minority if you are making amateur sites. I unfortunately don't have that freedom. Although that requirement also makes me learn to program properly instead of easily.

 

As for as not having javascript turned on, in my company none of us do - company requirement due to security reasons.
