<?php
$message="This is my email message to myself";
$success=mail("[e-mail]", "an email", $message);
if ($success) {
   header("Location: [url]http://www.someplace.com[/url]");
   }
else {
   print "I couldn't send the email!!";
   }
?>

Can I put that in along with my HTML scripts?

Depends on your server configuration. I can on my boxes, 'cause Apache is set to parse everything for PHP.

A word of warning. Apparently the code here on the forum rewrites URL's submitted in the PHP tag as well as in the forum text itself.

I'd look at my original links to the manual to doublecheck the proper use of the header() function. The prototype is double quote, the word Location, a colon, the URL (including protocol and double slashes), a double quote.....

I use FTP to upload all mine...so it wont work then.huh?

Can't say...the way you upload data to the web site has little to do with whether or not the server parses for PHP.

OTOH, if you don't know if you can, I wouldn't count on it 😉
