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 ? .

1. Having different scripts doing actual work keeps things clear and easily managable. Sure, You could have a whole site in just one index.php page. Would you do that?
2. On as side note: Doing a header redirect prevents those pesky 'do you want to resubmit you information?' alerts from UA's on a refresh.
