Hello,

I'm sure you have seen ths question before, but what I need is the proper code to add a redirect to my form processing php file.

I've tried adding a header, but I must be doing it wrong because I keep getting an error.

Here's a copy of the simple code I'm using:

<?PHP
$to = "higinv@aol.com";
$msg .= "This message has been sent from your Feedback Form\n\n";
$msg .= "Feedback: $feedback\n";
mail($to, $Name, $msg, "From: Feedback Form\nReply-To:
$Email\n");
?>

I just need it to redirect back to my index page after it has been submitted.

thanks for the help

<?
ob_start();
$to = "higinv@aol.com";
$msg .= "This message has been sent from your Feedback Form\n\n";
$msg .= "Feedback: $feedback\n";
mail($to, $Name, $msg, "From: Feedback Form\nReply-To:
$Email\n");
header("Location: whateverpage.php");
?>

thanks for the reply,

I add the code and uploaded it.

this is the error I'm getting, the same one as when I tried to add a header..

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site142/fst/var/www/html/form.php:9) in /home/virtual/site142/fst/var/www/html/form.php on line 16

what the heck am I doing wrong?

When you use a redirect script, you to put the redirect before any html is added to the browser or you will get you error message.

try modifying your last line as follows:
header("Location: whateverpage.php");
exit;

Roman, thanks for the reply,

I'm at a loss here, I added exit; to the last line, but still same error, I've used a redirecting form before, but it was a php file I downloaded and modified. This is the first time i've tried to do it myself, and I've decided that php hates me 🙂

If anyone has anymore ideas I'm game....

thanks for the help

the ob_start() command is suppose to prevent your error message by creating a buffer.

If you have your php code with the header command located before the <html><head> tags on your page, you should avoid the error as well.
