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,

....or not have the apply page put up any html at all and at the end of
processing redirect to the index page via a header statement.
