Use Following.. instead header() function..
$url=www.two.com
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=$url\" />I have removed <html><body>, spaces, new lines from your mail.php, to avoid header erros.
<?php
//send email
$from = 'enquiry@webzymes.com';
$name = $_REQUEST['txtName'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['txtSubject'] ;
$company = $_REQUEST['txtCompany'] ;
$number = $_REQUEST['txtNumber'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['txtEmail'] ;
$msg = $_REQUEST['txtarMessage'] ;
$message= " Name : " .$name." \n Company : ".$company." \n Contact Number :".$number." \n Email : ".$email." \n Message : ".$msg;
$mailsent= mail("nikita.chandra@webzymes.com", "$subject",
$message, "From:" . $from);
if($mailsent)
$msg1="Mail sent succefully";
else
$msg1="Error occured while sending mail";
header("location:contactUs.html?message={$msg1}");
exit;
?>attach mail.php file here using advance editor
Hello,
You cannot use the header() function after you have already displayed some information to the page.
You are displaying tons of info, and only after that are you using the header function().
If you want to use the header() function, you must do it before you display any output, like right at the top of the page, before you any html or any echo.
There are two sollution I can think of. A quick way is to use JavaScript to redirect you to the main page.
Replace this line in the login.php
header("location:contactUs.html?message={$msg1}"); // Goes to main page.with this one
echo "<script>window.location = 'contactUs.html?message={<?php echo $msg1;?>}'</script>"; // Goes to main page.The second way to solve this is to use something called "output buffering".
I have never really played around with this, but from what I've heard, this is what it does:
It automatically hold back any information you are trying to display until the last second, and then only display it.
While the output is being held back, you have a change to use the header() function.
Right at the top of you index.php file u use this funtction:
ob_start();and right at the end of your index.php you use this function:
ob_end_flush();Hi,
Thanks for reply.
When i used javascript it works. But i need to display the success message on my page, it is appended to addressbar.
How to display message on form.
Thanks
change your main form file like this
<div><?php echo $_GET['message']?> </div>
<form action='mail.php' >
.
.
.
</form>Hi,
The code given above in the post displays message in address bar not on html page.
Thanks
post your latest html page and mail.php page here using advance editor
also you are using echo $_GET but in url you can see variable name is message
so change to $_GET in contact form .php
change your main form file like this
<div><?php echo $_GET['message']?> </div> <form action='mail.php' > . . . </form>
<?php echo $_GET?>
How can we use php in html form?
Use php form instead of html form to display successful message or else try out with jquery display messages.
You don't need any javascript - in fact I'd avoid js for this or you won't get page redirect for somebody with js switched off. Left in limbo?? Best to do it with header().
You can save a msg via sessions or cookies as well as get (querystring). Session probably cleaner, but you can also set querystring to 1 or 0
Don't put any html into this file - not required:
<?php
//send email
$from = 'enquiry@webzymes.com';
$name = $_POST['txtName'] ;
$subject = $_POST['txtSubject'] ;
$company = $_POST['txtCompany'] ;
$number = $_POST['txtNumber'] ;
$email = $_POST['txtEmail'] ;
$msg = $_POST['txtarMessage'] ;
$message= " Name : " .$name." \n Company : ".$company." \n Contact Number :".$number." \n Email : ".$email." \n Message : ".$msg;
$mailsent= mail("nikita.chandra@webzymes.com", "$subject",
$message, "From:" . $from);
if($mailsent){
$msg1=1;
}else{
$msg1=0;
}
//you should use the full url in header
header("location:contactUs.html?message=$msg1");
exit;
?>In your mail page:
<?php
...
if(isset($_GET['message'])){
if($_GET['message'] == 1){
echo "Sent, the message is";
}else{
echo "Sent, not the message is";
}
}
...
