PHP Script Help

[Scotty]

Hi,
I am trying to incorporate this PHP script from the forum.
I want to change the last line in red where is says "Echo "Thank you..." to go to a thank you page, but I don't have the PHP programming skills any one help me?
<?PHP
$to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "";
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");
　
　
$msg = "Below is a message from your contact form submitted on $date at $time.\n\n";
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
}
?>

Hi Jim,

I'm not an expert on PHP.

The code is setup to provide redirection to a page if you need it.

If you change $forward = 0; to read as $forward = 1; and change $location = ""; to $location = "http://myredirect";

In place of "myredirect" put in the full URL to the page you want the viewer to go to.

See the attached image for a brief explanation of the code.

Hi,
thanks I tried a goto but didn't work..
Jim

[Soquili]

You are welcome.

[Scotty]

hi,
the Modifications you suggested aren't working! I tired various references to $location="thankyou.htm" ?
thanks any way for your attempt (maybe my implementation)
Jim

Jim, I think you must provide the entire URL including the http:// etc.

hi,
I have tried the full path..just get a blank page.
It is Sledgers web script... maybe I should contact him directly...
Thanks for help tho..
Jim

Scotty I doubt it will work the way you have changed it, I corrected your URL error in the PM you sent me but I hadn't realized it was the script I'd used for the contactform.web file I posted in June.

You have used a script that is not mine but a free one I found on the web which worked for the purpose.
I'm no php programer either, so the alterations you have made might just have broken the script

The script should be left as:

<?PHP
$to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "";

$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");



$msg = "Below is a message from your contact form submitted on $date at $time.\n\n";

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
}

?>

Actually, it was John (neodiest) who found the original script (sorry John )

Hi,
I got your PM and got the original script again and the change was so simple I feel dumb.
If you modify the areas where I got as red it works to my thankyou page.
<?PHP
$to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 1;<Jims mod
$location = "thankyou.htm"; Jims mod
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");

$msg = "Below is a message from your contact form submitted on $date at $time.\n\n";
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
}
?>
