PHP Redirect

[Winterworks]

I have a PHP contact code on my site... Right now, after you submit a contact form, it comes up with...

Data has been submitted to $to!

Because of the codes...

echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

In the .php file. Now, instead of it showing that, how can I make it redirect to another page instead?

PHP Code:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

[Winterworks]

that's not my whole code.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "mikemersereau@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Client Testimonial";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n Email: $email_field\n Testimonial:\n $message";
 
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "error";

}
?>

I just need to know what to put where it says the "echo "Data has been...""

1.

PHP Code:

$body = "From: $name_field\n Email: $email_field\n Testimonial:\n $message";
 
mail($to, $subject, $body);
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */ 
exit();
} 


the redirect have to be after the mail function!

ah, thank you very much!

I recommend something a little more standard...

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = 'index.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];
eval( print_standard_redirect("Data has been submitted to ".$to."!", false, true) ); 


That way, it keeps the look of your style, and doesn't deal with the complications that come with the above samples.

sorry, you probably do not know this, but it is not for vbulletin, just for a general webpage.

Oh, I see. Then don't use the exit() function (it does some wonky things between different versions of PHP).

PHP Code:

ob_start();

//your code
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

header("Location: http://www.google.com");
ob_end_flush(); 


This is much better.
