You need to take out the url and use the filename so it should be:

header('LocationLthanks.php');

And I'm not sure what you've got going on on the form line. It should read

<form action="form2.php" method="post"></form>

I'd change the age input field to an integer as that is what it is.

Take the submit input out of <p> tags as it is a button and doesn't need to be.

I'm guessing the php script has a closing tag but is off the page.

I think that's all right, I'm pretty new to this myself but give it a whirl and see what happens. :)

I would recommend looking at my videos here on Treehouse about adding a contact form to a PHP site.

I cover everything you are trying to accomplish here.

Definitely watch Randy Hoyt 's videos as what I've written is what I learnt from them. It was only last Monday I think I started the PHP lesson so there may be errors in what I wrote.

Randy's videos are awesome.
