If you would wish to have the page show the origional form with a success variable - then you could have the mail sent, and header back to itself with a get variable, say header("location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?success=true"); or success = false, which then the form page would check to see if the variable exists, and display a message:

if (!empty($_GET['success']))
{
  if ($_GET['success'] == "true")
  {
    print("Your mail has been sent");
  }
  else
  {
    print("Your mail was not sent.");
  }
}

hope that helps any.

processing


Scott,

After processing the form, you can redirect (header('Location: page.php');
exit;) to another page that has some 'Form has been processed' message. If
the user hits refresh, he/she won't be resubmitting the form.

Best,
Daniel Kushner
