I recently completed my 1.0 version of my website and now that I uploaded it to dreamhost’s server, I’m having issues submitting the email form. When I host it locally, everything goes through with no problems. However, when on the server, it displays the email log:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by XXXX
I’m currently using the postmark app while hosted on dreamhost.
I’ve tried editing this field:
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "There was a problem sending the email:" . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
by adding:
else {
header (“Location: [insert form confirmation page here]”)
}
but it just displays the text above on my screen. What confuses me is that it works on my local server just fine but only displays when I host it on DreamHost. Am I not redirecting the site correctly?

22,986 PointsHmm, that seems really strange! My first suggestion would be to double check you're not having to change credentials/hosts between local and live. Do you mean the email log is sent in the email, or the email log is dumped out to the page?
I probably wouldn't dump this out on a production (live) site: $mail->ErrorInfo, instead I would email it to yourself or log the error message to a file using something like monolog and install it using composer.
