javascript - PHP contact form will just refresh the page after submission. -

after searching 3 hours still can't figure 1 out. have html template contact form , im trying make work using php script. changed template php , pasted php form script in it. working fine except confirmation text. after successful submission refresh page instead of printing "your mail has been sent successfuly ! thank feedback". not want redirect, want print on same page.

<form action="<? echo $_server['php_self']; ?>" id="contact-form" method="post" class="form afsana-form" role="form">                             <div class="row">                                 <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">                                     <input class="form-control afsana-style" id="name" name="name" placeholder="name" type="text" required autofocus />                                 </div>                                 <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">                                     <input class="form-control afsana-style" id="email" name="email" placeholder="email" type="email" required />                                 </div>                                 <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">                                     <textarea class="form-control" id="message" name="message" placeholder="message" rows="5"></textarea>                                 </div>                                 <div class="col-sm-12 form-group">                                     <button class="btn btn-primary afsana-btn" name="submit" value="verzenden" type="submit">verzenden <i class="ion-arrow-graph-up-right"></i></button>                                 </div>                             </div>                         </form>                         <?php  if(isset($_post["submit"])){ // checking blank fields.. if($_post["name"]==""||$_post["email"]==""||$_post["message"]==""){ echo "fill fields.."; }else{ // check if "sender's email" input field filled out $email=$_post['email']; // sanitize e-mail address $email =filter_var($email, filter_sanitize_email); // validate e-mail address $email= filter_var($email, filter_validate_email); if (!$email){ echo "invalid sender's email"; } else{ $subject = (contact_form); $message = $_post['message']; $headers = 'from:'. $email . "\r\n"; // sender's email $headers .= 'cc:'. $email2 . "\r\n"; // carbon copy sender // message lines should not exceed 70 characters (php rule), wrap $message = wordwrap($message, 70); // send mail php mail function mail("something@domain.com", $subject, $message, $headers); echo "your mail has been sent successfuly ! thank feedback"; } } } ?> 

first, have this: $subject = (contact_form); should throw error, assume have error reporting turned off. when developing, should have error reporting on can see errors in code... else working blind. don't mean throwing tacky error_reporting(0) in every file either, mean set error reporting level e_all in php.ini.

you have: $headers .= 'cc:'. $email2 . "\r\n"; however, $email2 not defined anywhere, error here too.. why it's important test error reporting on.

see if works:

    <?php      $error = '';      if(isset($_post['submit']))     {         if ( !empty($_post['name']) && !empty($_post['email']) && !empty($_post['message']) )         {              $email = $_post['email'];             $email = filter_var($email, filter_sanitize_email);             if ( $email = filter_var($email, filter_validate_email) )             {                 $subject = '(contact_form)';                 $message = $_post['message'];                  $headers = 'from:'. $email . "\r\n"; // sender's email                  $message = wordwrap($message, 70);                  if ( $result = mail("something@domain.com", $subject, $message, $headers) ) {                     $error = 'success';                 } else {                     $error = 'there error sending email!';                 }              } else {                 $error = 'invalid email address!';             }           } else {             $error = 'please fill fields.';         }     }  ?>  <p><?= $error ?></p> <form action="" method="post">     <input type="text" name="name" value="" /><br />     <input type="email" name="email" value="" /><br />     <textarea name="message" rows="5"></textarea><br />     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> </form>
