I have a form setup in PHP and was wondering how to get the process page to send me back to... well anypage on my site. here's the code I have.

<?php

$name	  = $_POST['name'];
$email	 = $_POST['email'];
$url	   = $_POST['url'];
$comments  = $_POST['comments'];

$recipient = "antoniomartinez@an-tonemedia.com";
$subject   = "Site Submission";

$message   = "E-mail: $email \n";
$message  .= "URL: $url \n";
$message  .= "Comments: $comments \n\n";

$headers   = "From: My Form \n";
$headers  .= "Reply-To: $email";

mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>

try this:

<?php
ob_start(); // output buffering as we modify headers later on

$name	  = $_POST['name'];
$email	 = $_POST['email'];
$url	   = $_POST['url'];
$comments  = $_POST['comments'];

$recipient = "antoniomartinez@an-tonemedia.com";
$subject   = "Site Submission";

$message   = "E-mail: $email \n";
$message  .= "URL: $url \n";
$message  .= "Comments: $comments \n\n";

$headers   = "From: My Form \n";
$headers  .= "Reply-To: $email";

if( mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers) )
{
	  echo 'Message sent to: '. $recipient . ', redirecting...';
	  header("Refresh: 2; URL=page.php");
}
else
{
	  echo 'Error, message not sent.';
}

?>

by adding an if statement around the mail function, it allows you to both check if it sends, and as you wanted, redirect to a new page when sent.

Redirect line:

header("Refresh: 2; URL=page.php");

If you wanted it without the delay, use:

header("Location: url.php");

Hope thats what you need.
