PHP href link on form page

brewster

I want to place a PHP href link to a PDF on a form "thank you" page after the form has been submitted.

My logic is to have the href link to appear only if the form has been submitted so a user cannot bookmark the page.

Make the PHP page only be seen from the submit page and to hide it if someone goes there by a bookmark. Can it be a dynamic PHP address that can't be bookmarked?

Here is my HTML code to be converted:

HTML Code:

<p>Thank you very much for your submission.<br />
  A Foo representative will contact you shortly.</p>
<p>Here is your <a href="#">link</a> for the whitepaper download </p>

if (sizeof($_POST))  // only if form is posted
{
	echo "<p>Thank you very much for your submission.<br />
	A Foo representative will contact you shortly.</p>
	<p>Here is your <a href="#">link</a> for the whitepaper download </p>";
}

help u???

PallaviDalvi: That does not work. I think the quotes were off, I tried but still did not work:

{ 
    echo "<p>Thank you very much for your submission.<br /> 
    A Foo representative will contact you shortly.</p> 
    <p>Here is your <a href='#'>link</a> for the whitepaper download </p>"; 
}

if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	echo '
	<form action="" method="POST">
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
	</form>
	';
}
else
{
	echo '
	<p>Thank you very much for your submission.<br />
	A Foo representative will contact you shortly.</p>
	<p>Here is your <a href="#">link</a> for the whitepaper download</p>
	';
}

Thanks everyone for your help.

I was told instead to do an autorespond email with the link instead of having it on the thank you page. I 've got the code for that working. --- Dan
