Universal Email & CSS Form Builder - form won't redirect.

Hi - I've setup a contact form from CSS form builder and applied the Universal Email behaviour. The form submits and the recipient receives an email. However the form will no redirect to the 'go to page'. It just reloads the original form again. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

The action of the form should post back to the original page. The redirect should be on the Universal Email server behavior. Make sure that there is a page specified in the goto page in the Universal Email wizard.

Thanks Jimmy. It is specified in the wizard and appears in the code.

I've attached a zip here.

Double checked

I think I did everything right - the form is set to post to itself and I have specified the redirect in the UE behaviour. Any thoughts on why it won't redirect?

Thanks

It looks like the redirect and the page is in there. The code may not be going into the block of code for forwarding, so what you can do to test is to find this block of code:

php:
//Send Mail All Entries
  if ("contact-thankyou.php"!="")     {
    header("Location: contact-thankyou.php");
  }



and modify it to look like this:

php:
//Send Mail All Entries
  if ("contact-thankyou.php"!="")     {
    die("Forwarding block reached");
    header("Location: contact-thankyou.php");
  }



if the page just shows the text "Forwarding block reached" then it gets into that block of code, but its not forwarding correctly. If it does not, we'll have to look into why it isn't getting to the forwarding code.

Thanks - the code is inserted but when the form is submitted it returns to contact.php.

One more piece of info - when the page contact.php loads it is a blank screen.

when a page displays blank, it means a php error has occurred, but error reporting is turned of.


to turn error reporting on, add the following code at line 1:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

Thanks - after turning error reporting on I get the following errors:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent in /WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php on line 3

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php:3) in /WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php on line 3

Make sure there aren't any extraneous white spaces in your /WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php file between the php tags. For example, having an extra line between the closing and the opening php tags like this:
?>

<?php
