Can't clear the form after successful completion
<p>Hi I have a "Sticky" form that after successful completion I want to clear the fields
I tried placing the $_POST = array(); in different sections of the IF statements,</p>

<p>This is the entire file, it is a form that get's sent to itself and records what you wrote in a file outside the webroot</p>

<p>Thanks for any help</p>
