The solution given is a bit esoteric, it can also be written as:

<?php
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['msg'])) {
  $msg = $HTTP_POST_VARS['msg'];
    // If the form has been submitted via POST variables
} else if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['msg'])) {
  $msg = $HTTP_GET_VARS['msg'];
    // If the form has been submitted via GET variables (e.g. index.php?msg=success)
} else {
  $msg = '';
}

if($msg == 'success')
{
  echo 'Hey, your message has been sent. Have a nice time. C ya!';
}
?>

Hopefully this will make a little more sense, I always tend to write code the long way (rather than take shortcuts) as it's easier to understand for anyone (including me) reading it in the future.

A web developer has given me a solution to my above question. But it is too bried to understand. Can some with wider PHP knowledge explain it to me. His Suggested Solution Is:

After success, just redirect to the form page with a qry string.
display message based on that.

eg: page.php?msg=success

Code:

<?php
$msg = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['msg']))? $HTTP_POST_VARS['msg'] : ( (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['msg'])) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['msg'] : '' );

if($msg == 'success')
{
echo 'Hey, your message has been sent. Have a nice time. C ya!';
}

$message="Query From Your Website\n\nName: $name \nCompany: $company \nEmail: $email \nTelephone: $telephone \nMessage: $msg";
if(mail($to,"Query From Your Website",$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks $name,We will turn to you soon.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>
