re-directing to 'thank you' page

mikeissa

I am using the attached PHP to collect and format data from 3 different online forms.

Once a form is submitted and processed, this script redirects the user to one 'thank you' page.

I would like to have 3 differnent 'thank you pages' based on the form that is submitting..... varible form_name is used to determin which form is submitting.

form_name = iburst
form_name = ipass
form_name = contact

can someone please help me

use the [man]header[/man] function to redirect to whatever page you want. use simply conditional logic to control the location to feed to header().

Basic if statement usually...

if ( $_POST['submit_button'] == 'submitteded' )
{
   header ( "Location: mypage.php" );
   exit;
}

Help a bit?

if ($form == "iburst") {
   header ( "Location: iburst.php" ); 
   exit; 
}
elseif ($form == "ipass") {
   header ( "Location: ipass.php" ); 
   exit; 
}
else {
   header ( "Location: contact.php" ); 
   exit; 
}

is the longhand way that explains itself

header ( "location: " . $form . ".php" );
exit;

is the slick way, as per your email message

$_SESSION['form'] = $form;
header ( "location: thankyou.php" );
exit;

is the way I would do it.
thankyou.php would then use $_SESSION['form'] and an if elsif else to display the appropriate message. Saves having to maintain 3 pages when 1 would do.

You use whatever var name you use to indicate the origin of the input, I thought that it was $form since that seemed to be what you used to determint the text file included in the email: but then I only scanned you script quickly.
