Redirecting

Guillermina Frind

header does not work if there is any output to the page before it. In this case you have included header.php before the header redirect. Since header.php does echo output to the page it would cause the redirect not to work.

Not sure if this helps with your problem but without seeing your code I can only suggest that you make sure you don't have any output to the page before header(Location...

Hi, I was following the tutorial, and can't seem to make it work either. I can't find any mistakes (I am a beginner though) and I can't find a difference with the code that's in the tutorial.

Here is the contact-process.php

<?php

include('includes/header.php');

$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-thanks.php");

?>

Here's the contact-thanks.php

<?php

$pageTitle = "Contact Mike"; $section = "contact"; include('includes/header.php');

?>

<div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <h1>Contact us</h1>

        <p> Thanks for the email! I&rsquo;ll be in touch shortly.</p>

    </div>

</div>

<?php include("includes/footer.php"); ?>

When I click send, so it submits the data to $_POST, it redirects to contact-process.php and shows it blank.

Can anybody spot the mistake?

Thank you!

Thanks Jason Anello! That was very helpful
