Not Redirecting Properly

Not Redirecting Properly

Greetings,

I have a contact form (created with CSS Form) that I am trying to either forward to a thank you page or to itself and have a "success" message appear. The form works, it validates.

The page is located at: contact_test.php

However, the actual page when tested does not add the ?success to the url parameter. As such the Success message does not display. Also if I change the redirect from a success message to a thank_you.php redirect page, it does not redirect their either.

BUT it does generate e-mails successfully and it does pass all the parameters from the contact form fields!

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Martin

BTW, I have attached the two files in the zip attachment.

change the first to lines:

php:
<?php virtual("/WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php"); ?>

<?php virtual
("/WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php"); ?>




to use the require_once function instead of virtual:

php:
<?php require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php"); ?>

<?php 
require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php"); ?>



To prevent Dreamweaver from using the virtual() function for including php files in the future, you should modify your site definition. Change the "Create Links relative to:" option on the local info tab to "Document" instead of using "Site".

Hi Jason,

Thanks for that info. I have already tried it and it worked perfectly!

I would never have thought to look at the document root settings to determine this problem.

Thanks again!
