Re: Email Form - Checkbox help

i took off the echo though and replaced that with the code you gave me. What i have on my website is basically the layout and the content. The layout is in a header.php file, and the content are in the other .php's every page such as proposal .php includes the header(layout). Is there any other way i can do this then? Here is a better explanation of what i said.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style2 {font-size: 14px; }
-->
</style>

</head>

<body>


<?
include("../header.php"); //This includes the layout 


$name= $_POST['name'];
$from = $_POST["email"];
$to = "blah@blah.com";
$subject = "Proposal Request";
$message = "Company Name: " . $_POST["companyname"] . "\n";
$message .= "Telephone Number:" . $_POST["telephonenumber"] . "\n";
$message .= "Email Address:" . $_POST["email"] . "\n";
$message .= "Company Name:" . $_POST["companyname"] . "\n";
$message .= "Company Address:" . $_POST["location"] . "\n";
$message .= "City:" . $_POST["city"] . "\n";
$message .= "State:" . $_POST["state"] . "\n";

//Checkboxes
//Service Needed
$service = $_POST['service'];
 if(is_array($service))
{
    $message .= "Type of Service needed:" .implode(", ",$service). "\n";
}

//Best Time to Contact
$time = $_POST['time'];
 if(is_array($time))
{
    $message .= "Best Time to Contact:"  .implode(", ",$time). "\n";
}




//Contact Preference
$cpref = $_POST['cpref'];
 if(is_array($cpref))
{
    $message .= "Contact by Email/Phone:"  .implode(", ",$cpref). "\n";
}



if($sent){
	$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $from . '>' . "\r\n" .
		'Reply-To: ' . $from . "\r\n" .
		'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
	
	mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
	//echo "The Email Has Been Sent";
	header("location:thankyou.php"); //that gives me the error
        

	

}
?>

Is there anyway i can do this?

Re: Email Form - Checkbox help

Yes, delete everything before the <? delimiter and use the script as a cgi. Since you are doing a redirect, you don't need to send any content to the browser. Just the header.

Re: Email Form - Checkbox help

Re: Email Form - Checkbox help

If still u are getting error try this code in place of header("location:thankyou.php");

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
echo "<script language='JavaScript'>
		location.href='thankyou.php';
	  </script>";
echo "<script language='JavaScript'>
		location.href='thankyou.php';
	  </script>";

No don't change the .php extension. Here's how I would do it:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
$name= $_POST['name'];
$from = $_POST["email"];
$to = "blah@blah.com";
$subject = "Proposal Request";
$message = "Company Name: " . $_POST["companyname"] . "\n";
$message .= "Telephone Number:" . $_POST["telephonenumber"] . "\n";
$message .= "Email Address:" . $_POST["email"] . "\n";
$message .= "Company Name:" . $_POST["companyname"] . "\n";
$message .= "Company Address:" . $_POST["location"] . "\n";
$message .= "City:" . $_POST["city"] . "\n";
$message .= "State:" . $_POST["state"] . "\n";
 
//Checkboxes
//Service Needed
$service = $_POST['service'];
 if(is_array($service))
{
    $message .= "Type of Service needed:" .implode(", ",$service). "\n";
}
 
//Best Time to Contact
$time = $_POST['time'];
 if(is_array($time))
{
    $message .= "Best Time to Contact:"  .implode(", ",$time). "\n";
}
//Contact Preference
$cpref = $_POST['cpref'];
 if(is_array($cpref))
{
    $message .= "Contact by Email/Phone:"  .implode(", ",$cpref). "\n";
}
if($sent){
	$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $from . '>' . "\r\n" .
		'Reply-To: ' . $from . "\r\n" .
		'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
 
	mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
	header("location:thankyou.php"); 
        exit;
}
?>

//Checkboxes

Notice how most of the server side processing is done before the doctype. Also, the header is sent prior to any html output.
