I’m trying to make a conditional statement to stop an email alert when the fail.php is called. Right now I’m getting an email alert for both good and fail results.

I do not want to receive an email if the the result failed. Should I make two scripts or is there a way t make this work together?

Thanks

Here is the section I’m referring to along with the whole script.

if (mysql_affected_rows($result) > 0) {
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);  
$reg =          $_REQUEST['reg'] ; 
$first_name =   $_REQUEST['first_name']; 
header("location: reg_add_success.php?reg=" . urlencode($reg) . "&first_name=" . urlencode($first_name)); 
} 
else { 
header("location: reg_add_fail.php"); 
exit(); // as sugested by John Conde
}

<?

$to = 'newreg@41q.org';
$subject = 'New Homeless Connection';
$msg = "<html>
<head>
<title>New Homeless Connection</title>
</head>

<body>
<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" border=\"1\" align=\"left\">
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" width=\"150px\">Registery No.:</td>
<td align=\"left\"> $reg</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\">First Name:</td>
<td align=\"left\">$first_name </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\">Connection Date:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$>$connect_date</td>
</tr>
 <tr>

</table>

</html>
";

// Make sure to escape quotes

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Homeless' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$submit_date = date("m/d/y g:i A") ; 

$order = "INSERT INTO reg_add (submit_date, 
connect_date, 
reg, 
first_name, 
)

VALUES

('$submit_date',
'$_POST[connect_date]', 
'{$_POST[reg]}nv', 
'$_POST[first_name]')";

$result = mysql_query($order);

if (mysql_affected_rows($result) > 0) {
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);  
$reg =          $_REQUEST['reg'] ; 
$first_name =   $_REQUEST['first_name']; 
header("location: reg_add_success.php?reg=" . urlencode($reg) . "&first_name=" . urlencode($first_name));

    If you check your code 

    // Make sure to escape quotes

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Homeless' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

    This code is already sending the mail regard less of the result.

    You just need to remove this line from top code

    mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

    and your code will work fine.
