dear all,

I want to make a form-to-email page and I want to diplay a messagebox after
the mail is send and then I want it to be redirected to another page. I used
JS for the msgbox but the header function wont work in this case. please
help me!

here is the code
....
mail( "m <bomber6man(a)yahoo.com>e(a)mysite.com", "Feedbacks",$message, "From:
$email" );
echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Your message was sent
successfully!');</script>";
header( 'Location: http://www.blah blah.com" ) ;
?>


thank you
Hooman

You could just do the header line in js as well, which would work. So change to:

mail( "m <bomber6man(a)yahoo.com>e(a)mysite.com", "Feedbacks",$message,
"From: $email" );
echo "echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Your message was sent
successfully!'); document.location.href = 'http://www.blah blah.com';</script>";

You can't call the header after you've sent output to the client (i.e. the
'echo' statement).

Redirect first, then check the mail state, stored as a session variable or
something similar.
