I found a php mail form online that echos a text success message, but need to redirect it to a new page instead.
I love all the functions in the code except for the text echo.
I tried <input type="hidden" name="next-url" value="test.com">
and <? header(Location: file.php); ?>
but the form redirect is ignored
and the header location gives me an error of not being able to do it because header already exists
Any ideas?
Here is the code.
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP mail Form</title>
<?php
// START NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS
// your name
$recipientname = "YOUR NAME";
// your email
$recipientemail = "YOU@YOURDOMAIN.COM";
// subject of the email sent to you
$subject = "Online-Form Response for $recipientname";
// send an autoresponse to the user?
$autoresponse = "yes";
// subject of autoresponse
$autosubject = "Thank you for your mail!";
// autoresponse message
$automessage = "This is an auto response to let you know that we've successfully received your email sent through our email form. Thanks! We'll get back to you shortly.";
// thankyou displayed after the user clicks "submit"
$thanks = "Thank you for contacting us.<br>We will get back to you as soon as possible.<br>";
// END NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if($_POST['submitform']) {
$Name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Name'];
$Email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Email'];
$Comments = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Comments'];
// check required fields
$dcheck = explode(",",$require);
while(list($check) = each($dcheck)) {
if(!$$dcheck[$check]) {
$error .= "Missing $dcheck[$check]<br>";
}
}
// check email address
if ((!ereg(".+\@.+\..+", $Email)) || (!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9_@.-]+$", $Email))){
$error .= "Invalid email address<br>";}
// display errors
if($error) {
?>
<b>Error</b><br>
<?php echo $error; ?><br>
<a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">try again</a>
<?php
}
else
{
$browser = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
// format message
$message = "Online-Form Response for $recipientname:

-----------------------------
Browser: $browser

// send mail and print success message
mail($recipientemail,"$subject","$message","From: $Name <$Email>");
if($autoresponse == "yes") {
$autosubject = stripslashes($autosubject);
$automessage = stripslashes($automessage);
mail($Email,"$autosubject","$automessage","From: $recipientname <$recipientemail>");
}
echo "$thanks";
}
}
