page redirect after form send command

Hi

new to coding, so bear with me.

I have built a simple form on my website. I have used php to validate and send the form via email, all works fine. but once the form is sent I need the user to be directed back to the home page.

is there a simple way to do this, all the code I can find is reliant on header and wont work as I already have text in the page. unless Im setting it up wrong, which is possible too.

thanks

Don't have any text on that page.
If you're going to redirect, what's the point?

Otherwise, use an HTML (meta tag) redirect after 5 seconds, or whatever.
Or, a link such as "Click here for main page".

I would just redirect to a thankyou page and not have any text on the email processor.

ok so I can put html on the php file? didnt realise that! easy then

that didnt work for me.

the only text on the page is php code, I would like to redirect to the home page or a thankyou page.

You can write HTML on PHP pages. You could either end your PHP (?>) and write your HTML and then start PHP again (<?php) or you could write HTML directly in echo's.


echo "<b>HTML here</b><br />";
echo "<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Google!</a>"; // You have to escape the double quotes, though, by adding a back slash.


And if you want to redirect the user to another page, you can use META tags or the header(); function.


header("Location: thankyou.html");


You might want to add ob_start(); at the top too, that way it worked for me.
