Redirect to a Thank You page

PHP
1

When the GMAIL logo is clicked, on my contact page, a contact form pops out. I coded my contact form to redirect the user to a Thank You page, but it’s not working for some reason. Can someone enlighten me?

1.My contact page:
Untitled Document

2.PHP code: (contactformhandler.php)

<?php 
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'brysonprice@gmail.com';//<-----Put Your email address here.
if(empty($_POST['name'])  || 
   empty($_POST['email']) || 
   empty($_POST['message']))
{
    $errors .= "\
 Error: all fields are required";
}

$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message']; 

if (!eregi(
"^[_a-z0-9-]+(\\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\\.[a-z]{2,3})$", 
$email_address))
{
    $errors .= "\
 Error: Invalid email address";
}

if( empty($errors))
{
	$to = $myemail; 
	$email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
	$email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
	" Here are the details:\
 Name: $name \
 Email: $email_address \
 Message \
 $message"; 
	
	$headers = "From: $myemail"; 
	$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
	
	mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
	//redirect to the 'thank you' page
	header('Location:thankyou.html');
} 
?>

Try putting a space between the : and thankyou.html.

I’m not going to say it will fix it but its worth a try.

I’ve tried this already, but it didn’t help

I think you have to enclose Location: in double quotes
header(“Location: thankyou.html”);

Also try the full url (starting with http://)

Thanks lampcms.com :slight_smile:

I inserted “Location:http://www.brysonprice.com/thankyou.html” and it worked. Do you happen to know the answer to my other thread (link below)? Basically, I want the box to resize into a different shape after the email has been submitted.
