I have a php from that includes the external process.php, which handles all my validation and sending the mail function and submits to it self by setting
action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"
Everything works great, it validates properly and mails the form to my email, but when I try to include the header("location: thanks.html") to redirect after submit, it doesn't redirect. Am I doing this incorrectly or is it an issue with self-submitting the form? I'm also using Jquery and Jquery Mobile. Any help is appreciated
Heres my php
<?php
if(($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] =='POST') && (!empty ($_POST['action']))):
if (isset ($_POST['myname'])){$myname=$_POST['myname'];}
if (isset ($_POST['myphone'])){$myphone=$_POST['myphone'];}
if (isset ($_POST['myemail'])){$myemail=$_POST['myemail'];}
if (isset ($_POST['job'])){$job=$_POST['job'];}
if (isset ($_POST['comments'])){
$comments= filter_var($_POST['comments'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);}
$formerrors = false;
if($myname === '') :
$err_myname = '<div class="error"> Sorry, your name is rquired</div>';
$formerrors=true;
endif;
if($myphone === ''):
$err_myphone = '<div class="error"> Sorry, your phone number is rquired</div>';
$formerrors=true;
endif;
if($myemail === ''):
$err_myemaile = '<div class="error"> Sorry, your email is rquired</div>';
$formerrors=true;
endif;
if($job === ''):
$err_job = '<div class="error"> Sorry, your business is rquired</div>';
$formerrors=true;
endif;
if (!($formerrors)) :
$to = "myemail@emial.com";
$subject = " Request from $myname --Show and Tell";
$message = "A new show and tell request from:\n
$myname \n
$myemail\n
$myphone\n
$job\n
$comments\n";
$replyto = "From: $myemail";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message)):
$msg ="Thanks for filling out our form";
header('location: http://localhost/thanks.html');
else:
$msg = "There was a problem sending the message";
endif; //mail data
endif; //check errors
endif; //form submitted
?>

<div data-role="content">
<?php if (isset($msg)) { echo '<div id="formmessage"><p>', $msg, '</p> </div>';}?>
<form id="form" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
