Hi Everyone,

I would appreciate some help with a form that I am trying to get working. I am in now way a programmer so any help from you guys who are programmers would be appreciated.

I copied and pasted the fields and code into a page I created. The form if from an existing site of my customers. I then created this:

http://www.faithfulandtruecarolinas...._working.shtml (It was actually contact.shtml prior to my problems)

This form was then handed off to a coder to build the form: http://www.faithfulandtruecarolinas....ormprocess.php which processes the form information and emails the results in a readable format.

After he built contactformprocess.php and put everything into place everything looked good. Only one thing didn't work on the form and it was when you would tab between the email field and the confirm email field. You would get an error. The form information processed fine and was emailed to me fine.

Well I decided to look at the validation of the page and MAN!, almost every line had an error. Guess what?...I was pretty much sunk trying to figure it all out.

I decided to try and build another form coding the fields with the same name and cutting and pasting the "coders" code into the page piece by piece.

Well when I test the new form http://www.faithfulandtruecarolinas.com/contact.shtml it to forward me to the contactformprocess.php page. It is suppose to redirect to thanks.shtml. I can't get the form information to process.

Can someone give me some pointers??

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the contactformprocess.php code

PHP Code:


			
<?php
    session_start();
    $email_to[]="rsderrick@gmail.com";
    $email_to[]="rsderrick38@yahoo.com";

    /*include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/securimage/securimage.php';
    $securimage = new Securimage();*/

   $company=$_POST['company_name'];
   $phone=$_POST['phone'];
   $email=$_POST['email'];

       $mail = new PHPMailer();

Validation errors when tabbing between fields sounds like it is javascript related.

PHP Code:


			
 </html>
    ";

    $mail->Body=$body;
    $mail->IsHTML(true);
    

    if(!$mail->Send()) {
        header("location: http://faithfulandtruecarolinas.com/thanks.shtml");
          //echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    } else {
        header("location: http://faithfulandtruecarolinas.com/thanks.shtml");
    
    } 
//}
}
?>

You can't redirect to another page, after the html headers/tags are passed.
