Re: How to process text from HTML form?

I noticed that Message-ID:
<MfBMc.96751$4G 3.39536@newssvr 29.news.prodigy .com> from deko contained
the following:

It is.

The action part of the form should be the location of the page the
results should be sent to. If you leave it blank it will simply refresh
the page. Your script is including the script in the action rather than
the location of the script.

Try:

<form method="POST" action=
"<?
if ( empty($_POST['message']) || empty($_POST['email_address']) )
{
}
else
{
echo "send_mail.php" ;
}
?>"

Thanks - the below code is working.

I merged send_mail.php into the form code, and commented out the "header..."
line. But I don't know how to move to thankyou.html when the input is
accepted.

<form method="POST" action=
"<?
if ( empty($_POST['message']) || empty($_POST['email_address']) )
{
}
else
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email_address'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
mail( "me@mydomain.co m, "CSI Feedback Form", $message, "From:
$email_address" );
//header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.co m/thankyou.html" );
//How to move to above page?
}
?>"
style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px">
Email address: <input name="email_add ress" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" rows="12" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif">
</form>

Try doing what I suggested instead.
