I have recently (with a little bit of help) written this simple form to email script. It works, the only problem is that it redirects to the included php script when run. Does anybody have any ideas on how to stop this from happening and instead just showing a thank you note on the original page?

mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
?>
<p>Thankyou for your email.</p>

change your form tag to say:
<form name="email" method="post" action="index.php">
and change your index php to say:
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
include 'email.php';
} else {
include 'form.php';
}
?>
</body>
So if the form has been submitted, send an email, otherwise, show the form.

You need to set the forms target to the file itselfe.
<form name="email" method="post" action="form.php">
And include your code from email.php there.
if ($_POST['email']) {
... code from email.php ...
... and success message ...
}
This part will then only be executed if the form was sent (and an email was set).
