have a php form that works perfectly, then i wanted to set it up to do a redirect after the form is processed, but i am having a hard time getting it so work: I used the header function with no luck,. I researched online and it stated that the header function must not have whitepaces before it or a echo statement. I have a check setup so that if a user leave info blacnk it will print a message to the screen. So how do I have it check and if it passess the check then my the user be redirect to another page.

listed below is the script


<?php

if($_POST[check]== "true") {

$errmsg="";

if ($_POST[sender_name]== "") {
$errmsg .= "<font color=red>Enter your name</font><BR />";
}

if ($_POST[sender_email]== "") {
$errmsg.= "<font color=red>Enter your email</font><BR />";
}

if ($_POST[sender_phone]== "") {
$errmsg.= "<font color=red>Enter your phone number</font><BR />";
}

if ($_POST[OS]== "") {
$errmsg.= "<font color=red>Enter your Operating System</font><BR />";
}

if ($_POST[message]== "") {
$errmsg.= "<font color=red>Please, give us a description of your problem</font><BR />";
}
if ($errmsg!="") {
echo $errmsg;
}

else
$to = "support@nucitytech.com";
$msg = "Sender's Name: $_POST[sender_name]\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Email:$_POST[sender_email]\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Phone: $_POST[sender_phone]\n";
$msg .= "Sender's OS:$_POST[OS]\n";
$msg .= "Message: $_POST[message]\n";
$subject = "From: NuCityTech Website";
$mailheaders = "From: Nucitytech Support Page\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To:$_POST[sender_email]\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

header("Location: services.html");
}

?>

Any thoughts?

you could just echo a javascript statement:

PHP Code:

echo "<script language='JavaScript'> window.location='PAGE.HTM'; </script>"; 


that's what I usually do

Not sure if this will actually work, but might be worth a go as I have something similar: -

PHP Code:

//CHANGE THIS
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

header("Location: services.html");
}

//TO THIS
if(mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders)) {

header("Location: services.html");

}

}

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5;URL=http://internet-tips.net/About/about.htm">

Will redirects the page after 5 sec.

I used the following method

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"1;URL=http://nucitytech.com/thankyou.htm\">";

I will try the other methods later tonight. Thanks again, I love PHP

the idea is fine....just put your one echo state after everything....

so change to:

PHP Code:

if ($errmsg=="")
{
  // do all mailing and redirecting....
} else {
   echo $errmsg;
} 


Also make sure there's a "{" after the "else"
