RE: ADDING A CLIENT CONFIRMATION E-MAIL to CODE / THANK YOU.PHP - 05.21.11

mrjap1 · May 21, 2011

Hello,

Below is my existing code for my web site visitor to fill out the form... they see a thank you html page.... and I get the info inserted into my database.... and I get an e-mail with all their details, even their date of registration. From what I have seen so far, EVERYTHING WORKS SUCCESSFULLY. :D :D

HOWEVER, I would like to have the web site visitors details that they filled out ALSO SENT BACK to the web site visitor as a confirmation... say that this is a confirmation of the form they previously filled out.

How do I accomplish this based off of my existing code here?

I also would like my thank you.html code at the bottom of my current php code to be called in from a SEPARATE REDIRECT thankyou.php page after a successful form entry. I know that ALL headers must be IMMEDIATELY taken cared of upon entering any php page. This is what i used ***** header("Location: thankyou.php");******* Now I know that this is the correct code to make this happen but i do not know how to get this to work with my present code here.

How do put the header location: thank you.php code in my EXISTING PHP page to make this all work right?

thx
