On my form contact of my site, when i pressed the submit button the site would open a blank page (the php file), in order to remove that, i added
header("Location: ../index.html");
to my php file, it works, it mantains the same page after i submit my data, but it instantaneous goes to index.html, even having the code to show a message of success or failure the message doesnt show up.
Not sure why, its because of this method, i saw many topics talking about using AJAX, but i find that so confusing to me, is that a must-use on my site ? Can someone help me getting it working into my site ?
