Cannot Redirect After Form Submission

I have a form on a HTML page that has form data, and would like to have the user redirected to a new URL page after they have pressed the submit button and it has emailed the infor

Solution 1:

To use the "header" function:

header("location: result.php");

You can't output/print/echo anything to the screen, so try this:

if ($_POST) 
        if ($result) header("location: result-page.php");
        elseecho'Sorry, unexpected error. Please try again later';

Or you can use javascript to print the success msg and redirect:

if ($_POST) 
        if ($result) { 
            print "<script>alert('Ok, email sent');</script>";
            print "<script>window.open('result-page.php','_self');</script>";
        }else{
            print 'Sorry, unexpected error. Please try again later';
        }

Solution 2:

use the header('Location: $url); snippet that your tried but correct the function to this:

header('Location: '.$URL);

just make sure the varibale $URL is defined.
