Question

(sendmail.php sends the email) What code should i use to forward to a different page after the email is sent and where? Plzzz help

Answer 1

In the sendmail.php page, right before your closing ?> tag put this:



header("Location: index.php");



You can change index.php to whatever page you want to redirect to as long as you don't have any output going to the screen. If you have an echo statement somewhere in sendmail.php then header() will fail because the headers have already been sent.

Answer 2

This will need to go inside the sendmail.php page, after the portion of the script that sends the email.



By php:




header("Location: http://www.blahblah.com");

?>



By html

Answer 3

the header function works with GET. Why not take all the POST variables and send them on as GET variables? If the number of variables is.... uh... variable... then just send them as a *something*-seperated-values string in GET. like csv or your own favorite delimeter (obviously not ?, =, /, :, or &).
