form not submitting after changing form action
Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2005 6:34 pm
I have a form working great when I have it submitting to the self page
eg:
but the specs have changed and I need it to go to a thankyou page while submitting the information submitted from the form to an email adress.
when I change to the code below, the submission DOES take you to a thank-you page as it should, but the information doesn't get submitted.
What do I need to change/alter to get this to submit while going to a different page?
again, the form works when I have:
and down at the bottom
but when I have take out the thanks submission from the action on the form page itself to an external page, the info does not submit.
current code:
thanks in advance for any help that can be given!!
eg:
Code: Select all
<form method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" class="info_request" >when I change to the code below, the submission DOES take you to a thank-you page as it should, but the information doesn't get submitted.
