Form Redirection

[madmax]

I have a form on my server and it shows a message "Details sent to Webmaster" if form details are properly sent and "Unable to send message...Please Go back and try again" if details are not sent successfully to me. All this works just fine!!!

Now I was just wondering if it is possible to automatically redirect my visitor...To my homepage(if details have been sent) or back to the form page(if details are not sent) Can I do this?? Please help!!

Something like this would do....

Code: Select all

if($sent) {
  header('Location: http://yourdomain.com');
} else {
  header('Location: http://yourdomain.com/form.php');
}

You can do this on one page, although help is limited without seeing your original code. I've put your form in a separate file "form.inc".

PHP: Select all

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
    if ((isset($_POST['email_address'))&&((preg_match . . . . ))) {
        $email_address=$_POST['email_address';
    } else {
         $email_address=FALSE;
    } 

   etc.
   
    if ((isset($email_address))&&(isset($id)) . . . . ) {
    (mail the email - do not send anything to the browser! then:)
    header("Location:http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php");
    exit();
   // you can add variables to the redirect, e.g. mypage.php?id=id
  } else {
       error message;
       include('form.php');
} else {
include('form.php')
}
?>

Just a template. You can just send them to a separate error message page and make them backspace, rather than including the form twice.

Here is my mailer.php.......What do I do??

Code: Select all

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "navinpai_kma@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message_field = $_POST['message'];

 
$body = "From: $email_field\n Message: $message_field\n ";
 
echo "Details sent to Webmaster!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "Unable to send message...Please Go back and try again";

}
?>

If all you want to do is redirect when the e-mail is sent successfully this will work. It will display "Unable to send message..." if the e-mail is not sent.

Code: Select all

<?php
if(array_key_exists(submit, $_POST)) {

$to = "navinpai_kma@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message_field = $_POST['message'];

 
$body = "From: $email_field\n Message: $message_field\n ";
 
echo "Details sent to Webmaster!";
$mail = mail($to, $subject, $body);

  if($mail) {
    header('Location: http://yoursite.com');
  }
  else {
    echo "Unable to send message...Please Go back and try again";
  }

}
?>
