Link to your own REDIRECT page?

[cottonslurpy]

Ok I have the part of the code that creates the default redirect page for the user, however I have made my own redirect page that I have linked to in my form code.

Can I just comment out the $good_url line for my html form code to work or must I change something in the $good_url line to properly link to my already made redirect page.


If the $get_url line needs to be changed here's the code for easy copy paste for anyone who can help.

//
// redirect to the good URL page, or create a default page
//
$good_url = $SPECIAL_VALUES["good_url"];
if (!isset($good_url) || empty($good_url))
CreatePage("Thanks! We've received your information and, if it's appropriate, we'll be in contact with you soon.");
else
Redirect($good_url);
//

ok I figured it out on my own and though maybe some others would like to know how.


You dont need to edit anything in your formmail.php file to create or link to your own redirect page; rather than using the one the formmail file generates for you.

Open up your form page and add this "input type" line, which is listed in red, after your form actions.

<form action="formmail.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="name@site.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Details">

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="redirect.html">

name="good_url" is the variable name given to your redirect page by the formmail.php file

value="redirect.html" is the name of the redirect.html file you created

this is assuming your redirect file is the same folder as your form page - otherwise make the necessary changes to the url
