896 Pointsheader() method has no effect
I've tried to use different examples of header("Location: name.php");, but nothing seems to work. I still get the contact-process.php page. What might be wrong?

header doesn't work if you output any html before it. Having a blank line before your opening php tag is considered output and would be one cause on why this is not working.

Try to avoid spaces where they aren't required :)
Hope that helps.

896 PointsI figured out the problem: I had an
echostatement right before the header() function. I'm really new to PHP, so that didn't seem wrong at first :) Thank all of you for help! I really appreciate it.
