PHP question

[swartsz 7]

i have a little question about PHP i hope someone here can answer for me.

i have been working on a little mailscript for my website and came up with this:

<?php

$naam="Name: $_POST[naam]\n \n";

$email="Email address: $_POST\n \n";

$bericht="Message: \n $_POST[bericht]\n";

mail('info@swartsz.com','mail from swartsz.com',$naam . $email . $bericht);

echo("Your message has been sent");

?>

right now when you press submit it sends you to a blank page thanking you for sending me a message, but how can i make it so it will send you to the homepage of my website?

thanks!

Are you asking whether the code is correct or once the email has been sent how to do a redirect to the homepage?

I would just put a link like this after "your message has been sent".

echo "<a href='/'>Ok</a>";

You could also do an automatic redirect so that after a couple seconds it goes to the homepage. I'm not sure on the specifics of that though.

Hope this helps.

a bit of both actually.

the problem is when you press the submit button it keeps sending me to a blank page, even after i inserted the code you suggested.

to have a closer look at the contact page and the problem, go here: http://www.swartsz.com/contact.html

so i am kinda lost with this one.

Hmm, I think the contact page is ok. Can you post the code to "verwerk.php"? All that I get when I look at that source is...

<a href=\http://www.swartsz.com/index.html\></a>

here is the code of the form:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="verwerk.php">

        <table width="466" height="274" border="0">

          <tr>

            <td width="123" valign="top"><font color="#CCCCCC" size="1" face="Verdana">Name:</font></td>

            <td width="238" valign="top"><input name="naam" type="text" size="30"></td>

          </tr>

          <tr>

            <td valign="top"><font color="#CCCCCC" size="1" face="Verdana">Email

              address:</font></td>

            <td valign="top"><input name="email" type="text" size="30"></td>

          </tr>

          <tr>

            <td valign="top"><font color="#CCCCCC" size="1" face="Verdana">Message:</font></td>

            <td valign="top"><textarea name="bericht" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea></td>

          </tr>

        </table>

        <p align="center">

          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

        </p>

</form>

Yep, but can you post the verwerk.php code? The one that you first posted? Is that all that's to it?

[swartsz 7]

yes, that is all there is.

Here is what I just setup for my website. It's kind of rough right at the moment but it should give you a basis for what to do. Hope this will help ya.

why not just toss in a small javascript to redirect the site in a few seconds while giving the option of manual?

<script type="text/javascript"> 

	setTimeout('countdown()', 3000)  


	function countdown()

	{

  top.location = 'index.php'

	}

</script>[/code]



just stick that after the </head> tag and before the <body>

thanks guys for your help.

I think i have it sorted now with the help of a new script and form. Now it sends the user back to the homepage when the message was sent succesfully and to a error page when something went wrong.

again thanks a lot for your help!
