Question : Need to Create A Form  With 2 Actions.

I would like to create a form that has 2 actions...

1.  The results of the form are sent to my email address of choice  and
2. After the form is submitted, the person is forwarded automatically to another page.

What is the HTML code for this in its simplest iteration ?

Answer : Need to Create A Form  With 2 Actions.

Yes!

This script will create a form to receive input, then when the input is submitted it will produce a new page (line 39) and send the emails (line 44).

You can add anything you want after line 39 to give the new page the right look and feel.  You might use include() to bring in a separately styled HTML page.

You might add die() after line 52 to see how that works.

Best regards, ~Ray
