I want to redirect the user back to the home page after submitting
their form inquiry and display a message on the home page. I tried
this in my send mail (apply.php) file -
$_SESSION['sent_message'] == "Thank you for your request! Someone will
be contacting you soon.";
header("location:index.php");
Why not send the user straight to the index.php page instead of
apply.php page ? .

Put the following on your form page .....

<input type="hidden" name="passform" value="1">

Put the following in the index.php page .....

<?php
$msg=$_REQUEST['passform'];
if ($msg==1) {"<br> Thank you for your request! Someone will be
contacting you soon. <br>";}
?>

The rest of your index.php page will de displayed as normal .

I set it up so the form posts to the apply page to processes the form
input and send the email. I suppose I could do it all on the index
page but generally prefer not to.

Thanks,

I'm the same way, Tim. I like to keep my processing separate, and do it like you do. And it beats having an index.php page which dozens of conditional include statements.
