<?php
require_once('Connections/ssLogin.php');
session_start();
$list_start = $_GET['liststart'];
$i = $_GET['row'];
$dbVal = $_SESSION['mail_list'];
$from = $dbVal[$i]['sender'];
$subj = $dbVal[$i]['subject'];
$filename = $dbVal[$i]['filename'] . ".txt";
$message = file_get_contents("mail_files/" . $filename);
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ($_POST['submit'] == "Reply"){
$from = $_POST['SendTo'];
$sendto = $_POST['From'];
$subject = "Re: " . $_POST['Subject'];
} else if ($_POST['submit'] == "Delete"){
} else if ($_POST['submit'] == "Cancel"){
}
header("Location: ssListMail.php?liststart=" . $list_start_point); .
====
html stuff with:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Cancel">

When I click the "Cancel" button, it tries to re-execute the page and gives
me:

Warning: file_get_contents(mail_files/.txt): failed to open stream: No such
file or directory in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/ssReadMail.php on
line 10

The first time in it read the filename and put the result in $message. My
question is why is it running the page on submit rather than going to
ssListMail.php.
