simple question - after SUBMIT - how do I direct the 'next page?

[greggustin]

guess I am having trouble with the "LOCATION" command?

ie

after I have the user hit submit - it dumps to the 'mail.php page

(which is very simple - ie not a full html page)

do I have to make the mail.php into a full stylized html?

hope not

thought I could do a redirect back to the origination page in the website

I commented out the location command as it was not working

idea?

<?php

$Name=$_POST['Name'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$comments=$_POST['comments'];

$to="[email protected]";

$message="

From: $Name\n

E-Mail: $email\n

comments: $comments";

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";

$headers .= "BCC: [email protected]\r\n";

 

mail($to,"Comments From $Name", $message, $headers) ;

echo "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                    . . . . . Thank-you for you Inquiry <br>                    Some one will contact you shorlty";

//header( "Location: /thankyou.html" );

?>

You CAN'T echo before you do a header. So remove your echo statement and it'll redirect as expect.

Also an error message would be good but i expect it's saying "header already sent..."

You can't send a location header after you echo content. My suggestion is to get rid of the echo, and put your thank you message on thankyou.html. Then uncomment the header line below, and for good measure but an exit() after the header command. Here is the revised code:

 

<?php
$Name=$_POST['Name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to="[email protected]";
$message="From: $Name\nE-Mail: $email\nComments: $comments";
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: [email protected]\r\n";

mail($to,"Comments From $Name", $message, $headers)
  or die("Could not send email");
header("Location: /thankyou.html");
exit;
?>
