Hi
We have an enquiry form on our site. When a form is completed and sent, a message appears on the page to confirm this.
The code is:
$errorsAndAlerts = "Thanks for your enquiry. A representative fwill deal with your enquiry.";
$_REQUEST = array(); // clear form values
Rather than displaying the message I would like the users to be redirected to a different page and then have the message displayed there.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks

Change the <form> "action" to the address of the page you want it to redirect to.
Hi,
Another way would be like this:
redirectBrowserToURL('/newPage.php?success='.urlencode('Thanks for your enquiry. A representative will deal with your enquiry.'));
$_REQUEST = array(); // clear form values
exit;
So at the point when the form has been filled out correctly, you could use the CMSB function redirectBrowserToURL() to send the user to the new page, and include a variable in the URL called success with the success message in.
Then on the page the browser is redirected to:
<?php
if(@$_REQUEST['success']){
echo htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['success']);
}
?>
So this statement checks if there is variable called success in the url, and if there is it displays its contents.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
