To redirect the browser, output a "Location: ..." header or its meta-tag equivalent.

Scenario1:
a. i have a file named "form1.php"
b. i have 2nd file name "gdform.php"
c. i have another file named thankyou.html

when i run "form1.php", i enter data then hit submit. then i get "Thanks" message.

Scenario2:
i have a file named "form2.php"
i have 2nd file name "send_email4.php"
i have same file named thankyou.html

when i run "form2.php", i enter name/email then hit submit. then i dont get "Thanks" message.

------------------
thankyou.html
has nothing but Thanks.

bc i only want to see thanks. it works.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scenario2:
form2.php:

<form name="myForm"
action="/send_email4.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Submission" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Email: <input type="text" name="email" />
Phone No: <input type="text" name="phone" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

same thankyou.html as scenario1.

all the files are under same directory.

I am new to php. To me, if scenario works, why not scenario2?

thanks.

Hi,

open all the scripts that are the action of the forms and add at the top

<?php header('Location: thankyou.html'); ?>

Hope this works
