PHP Redirect to Contact-thanks.php doesn't seem to be working.

header("Location: contact-thanks.php");

I am using mamp on mac. Any common mistakes to look for?

Ok, so I was getting a blank page after the form submission and the problem is that on the contact-process.php file I was beginning the code on line 2. Apparently this can wreck a php page if it includes a redirect. (Was testing with Firefox)

1
2 <?php

Anyway, problem solved!
