PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Adding a Contact Form Working with Get Variables

Error

Instead of displaying the thank you page it just reloads the form again. Here is my coding.

<?php

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;

// TODO: Send Email

header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks!");
exit;

}
?>

<?php 
$pageTitle = "Contact Mike";
$section = "contact";
include('inc/header.php'); ?>

<div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <h1>Contact</h1>

        <?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET["status"] == "thanks") { ?>
            <p>Thanks for the email! I&rsquo;ll be in touch shortly.</p>
        <?php } else { ?>

        <p>I&rsquo;d love to hear from you! Comeplete the form to send me an email. </p>

        <form method="post" action="contact.php">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <th>
                        <label for="name">Name</label>
                    </th>

                </tr>

Try removing the !

header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks!");

I see what you mean now... Thanks Jason
