This would be much better handled at a.c.l.p, but if you are using
server side don't use META redirects, use PHP's header function:

$url='http://example.com/WhereYouWantToGo.html';
header("Location: $url");

After the line:
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');

You are echoing in PHP:
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';

That essentially create a HTML page use just this META tag redirect.
This is NOT the way to redirect to the "response|thank you|your order
been sent" page. PHP, (You do know you are using PHP, right?*) can not
only send HTML output but can send info via the server headers that
precedes the HTML output. That is what you want to do here, not send
HTML output to do the redirect but send response headers to do the
redirect, i.e. in place of your echo statement you want:

header("Location: $url");

Note*: Expression Web or any other misnomer WYSIWYG editor is *not* a
substitute for know what you are doing. If you are going to use more
than just static HTML and use server-side scripting like PHP in your
pages, you really have to learn a bit about PHP. The manual link is a
good place to start. Plenty of tuts on the web. I suggest you kit a few,
else you could inadvertently hand the hackers a spam machine...

I did nothing of the kind. You asserted that "nothing happened". And I
questioned "nothing at all? not even invoking the script?"

The script not being called is entirely an assumption on your part, and
probably an incorrect assumption at that. Your biggest problem right now is
that you have no idea what is or is not happening.

I doubt that very much. Have you checked your PHP error log to see if there's
anything there that would indicate a problem?
