Hi guys, I have a PHP contact submission form, it validates, it works, and generates a thank you message. Awesome so far. But after I get to the thank you message, I only want it to show for a couple seconds, and then redirect back to the home page. How could I do this? here is my php code
$thanksPage = “http://www.aabdesigninc.com”; ( i tried this, but this does not seem to work.
if(isset($_POST)) {$email_to = “[email protected]”;
$email_subject = “Hello there!”;function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo “We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. “;
echo “These errors appear below.“;
echo $error.”“;
echo “Please go back and fix these errors.“;
die();
}// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST) ||
!isset($_POST) ||
!isset($_POST) ||
!isset($_POST) ||
!isset($_POST)) {
died(‘We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.’);
}$first_name = $_POST; // required
$last_name = $_POST; // required
$email_from = $_POST; // required
$telephone = $_POST; // not required
$comments = $_POST; // required$error_message = “”;
$email_exp = ‘/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/’;
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= ‘The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.
‘;
}
$string_exp = “/^[A-Za-z .’-]+$/”;
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
‘;
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
‘;
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= ‘The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.
‘;
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = “Form details below.nn”;function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array(“content-type”,”bcc:”,”to:”,”cc:”,”href”);
return str_replace($bad,””,$string);
}$email_message .= “First Name: “.clean_string($first_name).”n”;
$email_message .= “Last Name: “.clean_string($last_name).”n”;
$email_message .= “Email: “.clean_string($email_from).”n”;
$email_message .= “Telephone: “.clean_string($telephone).”n”;
$email_message .= “Comments: “.clean_string($comments).”n”;// create email headers
$headers = ‘From: ‘.$email_from.”rn”.
‘Reply-To: ‘.$email_from.”rn” .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);?>
