I've used the form page with a the following code (at the bottom - but before any output is done) to redirect to a thank you page: if ($submittedcorrectly) { header("Location: thankyou.htm"); exit(); } HTH J -----Original Message----- From: MEM [mailto:talofo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 01 October 2009 13:01 To: 'Bob McConnell'; 'PHP-General List' Subject: RE: Self-Process php forms or not? One last question about this: I've done a self submit form, after hearing all the advantages expressed here. But how could we relate, without using javascript, a self submit form with a "success page" or a "confirmation page" that doesn't show the form? Can please someone throw me some infos about this please? Ps- I've googled: "php redirect success page on self submit form" and similar...
