I just want a simple thank you page!?

Once a user submits a form, custom thank you page...

[casey133]

Hello all, here is my problem; I have just some simple forms on my website, a contact page, etc… I am using jacks form mail.php to process the forms; now the only thing I need help with here is once the visitor submits their form, I want it to take them to a custom thank you page… very simple I am sure, instead it takes them to a generic thank you page. Does anyone know how I can make this happen, or if there is an easier to use php form processor script (free) I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

Do you know where the generic page is located? I would just edit the page it is using now and make that a little fancier.

If you don't know where the generic page is, just look at the file with the form, or the source code and see what's written in <form action="Here's the desired url"
Certainly the next file will be written in php, but that's no problem, isn't it?

Hope to help!

the php file is in my rood dir, where the index.html page is; so just place the html code i want to show up where the thank you text is?

Yes. Use the $_POST["here var from the form"] to get relevant information you want to put on the thank you page.
Eg in the form you've got:

<form action="index.php" method="POST">
First name<input type="text" name="1name" id="1name"/>
Surname<input type="text" name="sname" id="sname"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

then in the Thank you page you can use these inputed values:

<p>Thank you <?PHP echo $_POST["1name"]." ".$_POST["sname"];?> for completing the form.</p>

If someone entered values: Michal in the 1name field and Cibor in the surname field, then the thank you text would be:
Thank you Michal Cibor for completing the form.

The dot in echo allows to combine two strings (one from _POST and one with space in it. " " - this is space string.

Hope this helps
