For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Using a redirect in a PHP mail form

Posted by Paula (Paula), 18 December 2007
Hi everyone

I'm trying to modify a PHP mail form script (called contactme.php) to redirect to a thank you page when the submit button is clicked.

The form script is below in its entirety - the line I'm using is:

           header('Location: http://awebsite.com/thankyou.htm');
           exit();

- but I'm getting this error message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sites/awebsite.com/public_html/contactme.php:6) in /home/sites/awebsite.com/public_html/contactme.php on line 40

Is this something in the script, or something set by the system admin of my web host?

Any advice or solutions welcome

Thanks in advance,
Paula

contactme.php:

<?php

       if ($_REQUEST['step'] == 1)
       {
           $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
           $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
                 $comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];
                 $sendto = "me@here.com";

           // Compose simple text message:
           $message = "Message from $name \n\n\n$comments";

           // Send message to me
           mail($sendto,"Message from website",
                        $message,
                        "From: $email\n".
                        "Reply-to: $email"
                        );

           // Thank the generous user
           header('Location: http://awebsite.com/thankyou.htm');
           exit();
       }
       else
       {

       ?>
