1,649 Pointsheader function not working
Hello,
I would like some help with the following problem:
No matter what I do, after clicking the "Send" button, I am not being redirected to "contact-thanks.php"
Dimitris Tsioumas
1,649 Points <?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");
?>
Thanks!

1,649 Pointsunfortunatelly the problem still persists, I have even tried ' ' instead of " " as found on W3School

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsOk, let's verify a few things.
You do have contact-thanks.php created and in the same folder?
Is the action attribute on your contact form going to "contact-process.php"?
And is the code you posted above inside "contact-process.php"?
