Hi there,

I need a little help here please.

If you go to

http://www.enigmaphotography.net/contact.php

fill the form in the submit, it will then take you to a page, saying thank you. I would like this page to refresh after five seconds or so, and back to the original contact.php page

Php has header function for redirecting. However that function must be called before any output was sent to the page. If you have already printed out Thank you, php redirection won't work and you will have to use html or javascript:

Code:

HTML (goes into the <head>)
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=contact.php" />

Javascript (goes anywhere on the page)
<script type="text/javascript">
 setTimeout("document.location.href='contact.php'", 5000)
</script>

Hope it helps.

That would require that your PHP script output either JavaScript or an HTML <META> tag to perform the redirection.
