form data not sending to e-mail

[finstah1]

I'm using this to forward my form data to an email based on CAPTCHA entry being correct:

PHP Code:

if ( $can_send == 1 ) {    
  header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/mail.php');
  } 
else {
header( "Location: " .$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] );
} 


If chars match I want the data sent to the mysite link, if the chars don't match it tells the user to re-enter the CAPTCHA text.

I'm not sure if header is correct, I'm new to PHP so I don't know what else to use. Is this just a redirect or something? Because the data doesn't get sent.

I have about 35 fields on the form so I don't want to add $name, $email, etc as a query string. Is there another way to foward the data?

thanks for any help

er.. dont forward?

PHP Code:

function sendmailfunction(){
  // Put your mail.php code here
}

if ($can_send == 1){     
  sendmailfunction();
}else{ 
   header( "Location: " .$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ); 
}

or in your mail script change any $_POST or $_GET variables to $_REQUEST

I went a different route and got things working.
