Thread: Easy Question I think

Hi guys,
I have a contact form on my website:

www.soundtrack.ie/contact

I want to be able to put a redirect into my code so that when someone uses the send email form, it redirects back to the same contact page - currently it just stays on a blank page once its sent.

Here is the code - I just want to know what to put in here to make it redirect back to the same page again?

Code:

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

$to = "emmett.cooke@gmail.com";
$subject = "Music";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
 
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

This can be done few ways.
if you want to show a message for few seconds then

PHP Code:

echo "Message sent...<br />
  <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;url=http://www.website_url_here'>"; 


otherwise

PHP Code:

ob_clean();
header("Location: http://www.url_here",true,301);
exit(); 


cool, and do I just stick that at the bottom of the code thats already there? or in the middle or top of it?

Sorry I'm really not any good at coding lol

right after the mailing code

PHP Code:

mail(, , );
