where's your redirect part.. ??
paste that code too..

Member Avatar for bangla

thankyou.html is the redirect file. it has nothin. only

"Thanks for your submit".

as i said, it works for other file but not for this one.

Member Avatar for smantscheff

To redirect the browser, output a "Location: ..." header or its meta-tag equivalent.

scenario2:
form2.php:

<form name="myForm"
action="/send_email4.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Submission" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Email: <input type="text" name="email" />
Phone No: <input type="text" name="phone" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

same thankyou.html as scenario1.

all the files are under same directory.

I am new to php. To me, if scenario works, why not scenario2?

thanks.

Member Avatar for bangla

form 1 and form 2 both have same line.

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />

scenario1 works but not scenario2.

Hi,

open all the scripts that are the action of the forms and add at the top

<?php header('Location: thankyou.html'); ?>

Hope this works
