Need Confirmation Message to Remain on Page Options

[chome4]

I have a working php contact form:

<?php
$msg = "";
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
include_once "PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/Exception.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/SMTP.php";

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$mail = new PHPMailer();

//if we want to send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.34sp.com";
//$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "email";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; //TLS
$mail->Port = 465; //587

$mail->addAddress('email');
$mail->setFrom($email);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Body = $message;
//$mail->addAttachment($file);

if ($mail->send())
echo "<h1>Sent Successfully! Thank you"." ".$name.", We will contact you shortly!</h1></br>
Use the 'back' arrow to go back to the main page...";
else
echo "Something went wrong!";
}
?>

The confirmation message is echoed out to a new, white page. Still getting to grips with php, but I cannot work out how to get the confirmation message to appear above the form instead of appearing on a new page.

This is the form's code

<form method="post" action="contact.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="subject" placeholder="Subject..."><br>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email..."><br>
<textarea placeholder="Message..." name="message"></textarea><br>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>



Any ideas?

Hope someone can help.

I'll start by giving you hints, if you need help with the code just post back again.

1. You need a container to hold the message (maybe a DIV?). Place it above the form tag.
2. Assign your message to a variable.
3. Use the 'header' command to redirect to the same contact page.
4. Echo out the message into the DIV.

These are the basic steps but of course you need to add a little more.


Post back, with current code, if you need any more help.
