How would I do this?

I want some user to type their name in in a box,
and when they press sumbit, their answer gets mailed to tree@world-net.co.nz as well as going to a page that says

"Your name is [insert name they typed here]

your messeged has been mailed (or something)"

How would I go about making a script like that? thank you so much!

RE: How would I do this?

The Location-header is supposed to have a complete URL (as per the PHP-manual). The corrected code would then be (in PHP4.1.2+):

Code:

<?php
 if ($_POST['name'])
  {
   mail("tree@world-net.co.nz", "My Subject", "Name: " . $_POST['name']);
   echo "Your name is " . $_POST['name'];
  }
 else
  {
   header('Location: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/name.htm');
  }
?>
