Hi Vineet,

You don’t need JS to hide the form. Just set a variable with the result of the mail function:


$emailSent = FALSE;

// The rest of your form processing code here

if ($emailSent = mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
    $msg="We have received your enquiry. We will contact you soon.";
}

and then, in your markup further down the page, use an IF statement to only output the form if $emailSent is false:


<?php if ($emailSent == FALSE) : ?>
<form onsubmit="return validate()">
<!-- contact form content-->
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
