redirecting a contact form to a thank you message?

Hi all,

I have been updating my personal portfolio website, and have restructured to a one page format!

Im trying to validate my contact form at the moment, I've decided to follow Randy's 'Adding a Contact Form' badge to understand the PHP process better. To redirecting the form after submission Randy suggests using 'header("Location: PAGENAME?status=thanks");' I would like to use the same mark up but to link to an anchor on my page (i.e. '#contact')

Is this possible? and if so how?

Cheers Brett

It should work fine to just add the anchor right in on that URL, so in your example above you'd do:

header("Location: PAGENAME?status=thanks#contact");
