Courses Plus Student 3,391 PointsRedirect to thanks.php not working
I'm working with a local server and my page doesn't redirect to thanks.php
The only thing that seems to make it work is if I add ob_start(); to the top of my code, but I don't fully get what this ob_start() is doing and if I can just get along with it to continue the course.
Thanks!

See if that helps you out.

Is there any whitespace before your header relocation statement? Or any echo statements? Those 2 things can cause an error message when you're looking to redirect in a PHP file.
You'd want something like:
if($success) {
header("Location:thanks.php");
exit;
}
