I have a form that submits and returns on the same page and works fine.
I know want to change the submission action from {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}
to an external thanks page so the form method would change to:
<form action="thanks.php" method="POST">
now I need to know what else I have to change in the form below to
change to get the thanks page to submit the info. other than the
obvius which is to get rid of the echo thank-you msg. at the end of
the form.
Here is the current code:
<?php
$form_block=<<<END_FORM
<form method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" class="info_request" >
<fieldset class="left">
<legend title="About You">About You</legend>
<p><label for="firstname"><span class="red">*</span> First Name: </label><br />
