I can't be sure without seeing everything, but you've most likely done
everything correct except for the post-processing HTML output...in other
words, if you're sending info to a php script, you have to output some HTML
at the end of the processing that gives the correct HTML layout and says for
instance "success"...or, as I often do, send the info to $PHP_SELF, and at
the end of the mail and database calls print out the HTML skeleton with a
success message...as it stands right now, it sounds like you're sending it
to a script, and expecting it to go somewhere afterwards which is
incorrect...you have to do something after you process the info...
best of luck,
jack

Subject: [PHP] Form Processing problem....
I am calling the following php script from an HTML form with
<form name="comment_form" method="post"
action="php/comment_form.php">
In Internet Exploder 5.0 it processes the form, sends the message and
commits to the database, but does not return to the referring page.
In Netscape 4.77 it displays an error message the document contained
no data even though it processes the form, sends the message and
commits to the database.
I would appreciate any insight on how to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Jack
