## set up the time ##

$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");

## mail the message ##

$msg = "Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted on $date at $time.\n\n";

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo "Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
}

?>

when i press submit it shows a plain text page then re-directs people, is there a way to just re-direct people without them seeing the plain page sayingThank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

it should be setting $forward to 1 in the line $forward = 0; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no and don't forget to set properly $location to the page you want to redirect.

it re-direct after you have seen the plain page with the message on, i want it to skip that and just re-direct people

It's weird since the if-else conditional makes it re-direct or display the message but not both. try changing it to if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
} else {
echo "Thank you for submitting our form. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
}
...although i believe it's the same thing.
If that doesn't work, change that part to just header ("Location:$location");

ok thank you.

maybe i was doing something wrong in the first place.

Headers (including redirects) do not work after content has been sent to the browser, so it would not display the message and then redirect you. Even if it tried to do that, it would display the message, and then an error. :)

i think it is a error on my part then
