    Default Editing the "Thanks" message after submit.

    I've found a piece of code that I've heavily edited to work on my site and I'm almost there!

    Is there anything I can add in the php to have a "Thanks for submitting . . ." message?

    Here's the code . . . (I've used the free code from pixelatedbylev.com and edited it heavily to work for me.)

    Code:
    <?php
    
    
    $thisprog = "pbltellafriend.php";
    $template = "template.html"; // must be valid!
    $people = "5"; // number of people user can recommend page to at a time
    $fontface = "Arial"; // font style
    $fontsize = "11"; // size in points! (pt); NOT html sizes, a decent size is between 8-14
    $fontcolor = "#000";
    $maxlength = "50"; // maximum length of string displayed url will be before adding "..." before it
    $messagefile = "tellafriend_message.txt"; 
    $mes_footer_file = "tellafriend_mes_footer.txt"; // does not need to be modified if file exists in same directory
    $subject = "TEST MESSAGE"; // change this to your default subject
    $changesub = "n"; // allow users to change the "subject" of the email
    $requirerefer = "n"; // y or n
    $validservers = "pixelatedbylev.com,www.pixelatedbylev.com,taintedthoughts.com,www.taintedthoughts.com";
    $uselog = "n"; // want to enable log recording so that you may view a log of recommendations? ***REQUIRES mySQL!***
    
    // IF YOU WANTED TO ENABLE LOG RECORDING THEM THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS ALSO MUST BE SET

    // MYSQL REQUIRED PARAMETERS

    Make an if else associated with a function with checks for failures. Here is an example with a mail() function which worked well on my site.

    Code:
    $ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 
    
    if($ok) { 
    echo "Your sample has been submitted to your practitioner.
    Click <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"history.back();\">here</a> to return.";
    
    } else { 
    fail("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please try again."); 
    }
    It wont work with all functions, but it might work for you. Hope this helps.

    It looks like I may have it working. I took out a lot of the superfluous code I didn't need.

    $fontface = "Arial"; // font style
    $fontsize = "11"; // size in points! (pt); NOT html sizes, a decent size is between 8-14
    $fontcolor = "#000";
    $maxlength = "50"; // maximum length of string displayed url will be before adding "..." before it
    $messagefile = "tellafriend_message.txt"; // does not need to be modified if file exists in same directory
    $mes_footer_file = "tellafriend_mes_footer.txt"; // does not need to be modified if file exists in same directory
    $subject = "TEST MESSAGE"; // change this to your default subject
