PHP Contact Form

I have created a contact form on my website which allows input for "Name", "Email" and "Comments". I have also created a 'thank you' page which confirms the message has been sent, and a link to return to the homepage.

The problem: When I insert data into the text fields and click "send" it takes me to a blank* page, rather than the "thank you" page. However, when I leave the fields blank and click send, it navigates to the "thank you" page successfully.

Anyone familiar with this when using PHP mail forms?
 
At a wild guess, I'd say that your script is screwed in data handling and the blank page simply represents a stop in the script producing the acknowledgement page. Ideally, your script should check for blank entries and not allow the visitor to proceed.

But, yeah, what citizenzen said.
 
Here what I use.
PHP: 
<? if ($_POST['submit']) {		
$name     = $_POST['name'];
$phone    = $_POST['phone'];
$email    = $_POST['email'];
$type     = $_POST['type'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$deny = $_POST['deny'];
$goodform = true;

if($deny) {exit;}
if(!$email && !$phone) {$message = '<p>Please enter your Email or Phone Number.</p>'; $goodform = false;}

$body =<<< EOF
Contact Submission
----------------------------------------------
Name: {$name}
Phone: {$phone}
Email: {$email}

Type: {$type}

Questions / Comments
--------------------
{$comments}
EOF;

	if ($email) {$mailheaders  = 'From: '. $email . "\r\n";} else {$mailheaders  = 'From: form@email.com' . "\r\n";}
	$mailheaders .= 'Bcc: email@email.com'."\r\n";
	$subject = 'Fullfillment Contact Form';
	$emails = array('email@email.com.com');
	
	foreach ($emails as $email) {
		if($goodform) {
			mail($email, $subject, $body, $mailheaders);
			$message = '<p>Thank you for your submission! We will repsond to your inquiry as soon as possible.</p>';
		}
	}
}
?>
