I have a form on a HTML page that has form data, and would like to have the user redirected to a new URL page after they have pressed the submit button and it has emailed the information. The form is called with the following button.
<div class="btnp"><input type="submit" value="Continue to Billing" ></div>
The form then sends the data to my PHP file via post. I do not need a success echo message, I would just like the URL to be redirected to the payment page. Below is the PHP file I have set up. I am trying to submit, send email with form date, and then redirect to a new html url.
<?php
//Retrieve form data.
//POST
$URL = "http://www.google.com";
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
//recipient - change this to your name and email
$to = 'sales@mysite.com';
//sender
$from = $fname . ' <' . $email . '>';
//subject and the html message
$subject = 'New User: ' . $fname;
$message = '
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head></head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>First Name</td><td>' . $fame . '</td></tr>
<tr><td>Zip</td><td>' . $zip . '</td></tr>
<tr><td>Telephone</td><td>' . $phone . '</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email</td><td>' . $email . '</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>';
//send the mail
$result = sendmail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
if ($_POST)
if ($result) header('Location: '.$URL);
else echo 'Sorry, unexpected error. Please try again later';
//Simple mail function with HTML header
function sendmail($to, $subject, $message, $from) {
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "
";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "
";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $from . "
";
$result = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
?>
use the header('Location: $url); snippet that your tried but correct the function to this:
header('Location: '.$URL);
just make sure the varibale $URL is defined.
To use the "header" function:
header("location: result.php");
You can't output/print/echo anything to the screen, so try this:
if ($_POST)
if ($result) header("location: result-page.php");
else echo 'Sorry, unexpected error. Please try again later';
Or you can use javascript to print the success msg and redirect:
if ($_POST)
if ($result) {
print "<script>alert('Ok, email sent');</script>";
print "<script>window.open('result-page.php','_self');</script>";
}else{
print 'Sorry, unexpected error. Please try again later';
}
