[RESOLVED] foetus cant get a confirmation page to work :-(

http://www.pauserefreshment.co.uk/coffee-machine-brochure-request.html

As a complete foetus in the world of php for web forms Ive gone through a plantation of coffee just to get this form to ping back the info to my inbox.

But just as I thought the feeling of pushing boulders up hill was over Ive opened up another conundrum and its this:

I would like an idiots guide regarding how to get a confirmation thank you page to pop up after the user hits the submission page / order brouchure button. Whilst I know how to do a web page (well sort off) theres a bit of code I need to put in the php to get it to re-route to a thank you page.

Please could a phpbuilder member give me a clue regarding what this code might be.

Any insights welcome :-)

If they are clicking a submit button it is technically already going to a new page.

Let say the form button is on order_brouchure.php. If the form tags action attribute is set to thank_you.php they will get sent to a new page.

<form action="thank_you.php method="post">

Now admittedly you may be using the same page to process the form as the form code it on and then you will just test to see if a $_POST value is set and if so display the thank you.

if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
   echo "<b>Thank you</b>";
}
else {
   // your form code here
}

If you need an actual popup window you would use javascript to open a new window when the new page is loaded.

window.onload=function() {
window.open('http://www.mysite.com/thank_you.php','mywindow','width=500,height=500,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1');
}

Of course all those are some of the basic ways to do it, there are several other techniques that can be used that are quire a bit more involved.
