Right after @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

header('Location: nextpage.php');

Note that you will never see 'Thanks for subscribing to our mailing list'

That should be on the next page, if you echo any text you will get an error because the headers would have been already created, if you want to redirect never return any text, not even a space!

You could use a function similar to:

function redirect($url) {
    header('Location: '.$url);
    die();
}

Worth noting, you should use a die() or exit() function to prevent further code execution.

Note that it just makes no sense to output large chunks of HTML if you are going to redirect. Therefore you have to move the form handling code above all HTML. As a side effect it will mitigate the notorious "Headers already sent" error.

Here's a more detailed guide than any of the other answers have mentioned: http://www.exchangecore.com/blog/how-redirect-using-php/

This guide includes reasons for using die() / exit() functions in your redirects, as well as when to use ob_flush() vs ob_start(), and some potential errors that the others answers have left out at this point.

You can try the javascript way of redirecting the page:

Example :

    $url='http://www.google.com';

    echo '<script>window.location = "'.$url.'";</script>';
    die;

It may help ...!!

Hi Andrew, php has something called output buffering. When output buffering is turned on then no output will be sent except for headers. The output is instead stored in a buffer, generally for further processing before it is sent. The php environment within workspaces has output buffering turned on. This is why it works in the video and the echo statements do not prevent the header redirect from working. You likely have output buffering turned off in your local environment. To check this, you can run the phpinfo() function inside your script. http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php php You can read more about the constant I passed in at the link above. Basically, it's to reduce the amount of output to make it easier to find what you're looking for. You can run this both locally and in workspaces to see the difference. You want to look for output_buffering in that table. Or you can look for it in your php.ini file. This is the file where it's initially set. The output_buffering directive will turn on or off buffering across all files. You can turn on output buffering as needed within your scripts by calling the ob_start() function. http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php So for you to get this working locally with the echo statements in place, you either need to change the outputbuffering value to On (4096 seems to be the recommended value) in your php.ini file or you could place a call to obstart() before your echo statements and that should get it working.

Remove the echo line and put in header('Location: somepage.php') exit;

Simply do:

$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
header("Location: $referer");
