HTML Contact Form PHP Code Please Help...

[Ecot]

Hi all,
I have not got any php knowledge and I have found a php code on the net and using it to send e-mail from a web html form.So far the form and the code works fine.
I have the following php code for a contact form and i would like to add a simple Html thank you page when user submits the form.

Here is the code;

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
$to = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "Test Message"; 
$name_field = $_POST['fullname']; 
$email_field = $_POST['email']; 
$phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message']; 
 
 
$body ="From:$name_field\nEMail:$email_field\nPhone:$phone_field\nMessage:$message\n"; 
 
 
echo "Your message has been successfully sent $to!"; 
mail($to, $subject, $body); 
} else { 
echo "There was an error sending this message. Please contact us from [e-mail]"; 
} 
?> 

As you can see when the message is sent, a blank page is displayed with the message "Your message has been successfully sent $to!" . Instead of this I need a functionality which will redirect the user to another page; to thank you page a url etc.
Can you please help and modify the code please with some suggestions?
Thank you in advance
ECOT

Please use code tags, did you read this before you posted:

Anyway,

Use header to redirect. like so

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

make sure there is NOTHING before you're opening php tag, not even a space or empty line.

Make sure you do not output anything before that line (no echo or print statements).

It's also better to check to make sure mail() function actually sent it (returns ture) so put it in an if statement.

Here's your revised code. (Note: Don't expect free code, this was fast and simple and more courteous than you usually expect from any forum)

<?php
 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{
    $to = "[e-mail]";
    $subject = "Test Message";
    $name_field = $_POST['fullname'];
    $email_field = $_POST['email'];
    $phone_field = $_POST['phone'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
 
    $body ="From:$name_field\nEMail:$email_field\nPhone:$pho ne_field\nMessage:$message\n";
 
    if(mail($to, $subject, $body))
    {
        header("Location: thankyou.php");
    } 
    else 
    {
        echo "There was an error sending this message. Please contact us from [e-mail]";
    }
}
?>
