Help with Redirecting after a form submission

When I hit send on my mail form, the contact-process.php page displays with the users information on top of my header?! Tried taking out the <pre> tag around my _POST, but same thing, just displayed the information inline in the same spot. /Thanks for the help/

<pre> <?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; echo $email_body;

?> </pre> <?php

// TODO: Send Email

$pageTitle = "Contact Mike"; $section = "contact"; include("inc/header.php");

?>

<div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <h1>Contact</h1>

        <p>Thanks for the email! I&rsquo;ll be in touch shortly.</p>

    </div>

</div>

<?php include("inc/footer.php"); ?>

Thanks Jason!

Hi Vincent,

After building up the $email_body variable you are then echoing it to the page with echo $email_body; This is being output to the page which it shouldn't be.

Also, you don't have to close and then reopen a php tag right before the comment reminder to send the email later. All of the upper part of that page is php code and so it can be within a single php tag.

Check the video again around 2:26 and compare your code with the instructor's.
