send auto response through php form - php

Question

I'm trying to make it so if the e-mail sends successfully the $emailwill get a automatic response from the $mail_to preferably with HTML signature included.
CODE:
<?php
$mail_to = 'REMOVED#EMAILERE.com';
// specify your email here //
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$reason = $_POST['reason'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Construct email subject
$subject = 'Enquiry Form Submission';
$body_message .= 'Stage Name: ' . $name . "\r\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail Address: ' . $email . "\r\n";
$body_message .= 'Reason for Contacting: ' . $reason . "\r\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: ' . $message . "\r\n";
$body_message .= "IP Address: " . getUserIpAddr();
// Construct email headers
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n";
$mail_sent = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_sent == true){
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location = 'http://www.sharpturnnetwork.com/forms/success';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
function getUserIpAddr()
{
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) //if from shared
{
return $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
else if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) //if from a proxy
{
return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else
{
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
}
?>

If you're just trying to pass the user information to another PHP page (http://www.sharpturnnetwork.com/forms/success), form the URL using GET parameters (e.g., http://www.sharpturnnetwork.com/forms/success?ip=$ip). But honestly, I'm not really sure what you're asking.
Note: PHP mail() returns TRUE or FALSE, but it does NOT tell you whether the email was delivered successfully. This just is not possible in PHP.
From PHP documentation on mail():
Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE
otherwise.
It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for
delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended
destination.
