Yes, of course. Alternatively, you could write to the error log.

That is because the only error handling the OP is doing is making the

This is NOT effective error handling in a production script.

Then why are you show that meta tag hack instead of the header command
that I showed you?

header("Location: $url");

$headers = 'From: '.$emailadd;

mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, $headers);
