You can do redirect using PHP itself.

How to make a redirect in PHP?

$sendvar = "?subject=".$subjectfromemail."&from=".=$from."&message=".$messagefromemail."&wrong_code=true";
header("Location:". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].$sendvar);
die();

to be able to use an array value inside of a string, please enclose it with curly brackets like this:

<?php $sendvar = "?subject=".$subjectfromemail."&from=".=$from."&message=".$messagefromemail."&wrong_code=true";
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
window.top.location='{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}+$sendvar';
</script>"; exit;?>

Regards,

Stefan

Or a clearer way :

<?php
$sendvar = "?subject=".$subjectfromemail."&from=".=$from."&message=".$messagefromemail."&wrong_code=true";
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
window.top.location='".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].$sendvar."';
</script>"; exit;
?>
