I'm attempting to redirect to Thank you! page after successfully validating form info and generating an email. But the header function does not work/ page does not redirect and I get my 404 instead. My code is given below:
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "myemail@myemail.com";
$subject = "Visitor Message";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$firstname = check_input($_POST['firstname'], "Enter your first name");
$lastname = check_input($_POST['lastname'], "Enter your last name");
$email = check_input($_POST['emailaddress']);
$message = check_input($_POST['message'], "Write your message");
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
/*Prepare the message for the e-mail */
$emailmessage = "Hello!
Your have received a message!
Name: $firstname $lastname
E-mail: $email
Message:
$message
End of message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $emailmessage);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: http://www.mywebsite.com/thanks.html');
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
