Hi all,
I’ve got a script that checks form data, sends email, all the usual stuff. The problem comes what to do after the emailing. The usual thing i do is to send the user to a new page, but this time, it isnt an option. I need to display a message on the same page (with the same url).
// Set email, subject and style the email message
$to = "to-someone@example.com";
$subject = "Some subject type thing";
$headers = "From: " .$_POST['email'];
$message .= "Name: " . $_POST['name'] . "
";
$message .= "Email: " . $_POST['email'] . "
";
$message .= "Phone: " . $_POST['phone'] . "
";
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
$endMessage == "<p>Thank You. We have recieved your request and will be in contact shortly.</p>"; // success
} else {
$endMessage == "<p>Unfortunatly, your request could not be completed. Please try again.</p>"; // error
}
This doesnt work, however, the following works and as I’ve got the right functions to display the relevent info on the page, I know its something to do with the above code.
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
header('Location: success.php'); // success
} else {
header('Location: error.php'); // error
For your info, here is the simple function that im using to display the $endMessage
<?php
if (!isset($endMessage)) {
?>
<!-- some html stuff here -->
<?php }
else {
echo $endMessage;
}
?>
How come it doesnt work, and is there any way round it?
Any help would be appreciated
