AMP Form submission redirect or response


Good morning, I have a form on a test AMP page (is AMP validate) and the form works: I receive the email with result (I use a php to handle it). I don't know (I did some try but I think I still missing an example) the syntax for let the AMP page responce correctly (now I get "Subscription failed!" but I do get the email) or redirect after submission. Here my example:

AMP page with form (I receive form result after submission but I don't know how to redirect or get "Subscription successful!" message)

Non AMP page with form (I receive form result and it redirect correctly)

action-xhr file destination code: Code of the php here in txt format (the file that handle the form result)

Any example will be great for me also only about redirect. Thank you


Solution

  • You can redirect user after successful submission, however it can only be done if you are submitting values to a secure URL (like https://www.example.com).
