form submit and redirect Options

[Philbie]

Hi anyone at all please help. I created a form in dreamweaver and a sendresults.php and redirection to confirmation.htm
When I submit the form, it redirects me to the sendresults.php ! if anyone is at this stage you should know that
I am not a pooter person but I'm getting more respectful of them by the minute.
here is the code:

<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------

// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Results from Contact form';

// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = 'mail@psyfactor.eu';

// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.psyfactor.eu/confirmation.htm';

// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';

// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n";
$space = ' ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 20)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 20 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = ' ';
}
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
?>

Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?

Without seeing the form, my guess is that the action attribute is wrong. But that's just a guess.

Hi yes - thanks for this
the address is
www.psyfactor.eu/contact form.htm

cheers

The action seems to be right, but the php document is not being passed through the php interpreter. You need to find out how your host does things - with luck you just add somethng to .htaccess.

And sending a <meta > fragment of html is a crummy way to redirect, since you could send a proper redirect header, .... but why redirect anyway? The form handler can simply output whatever confirmation you need.
