The form won't redirect to thank-you page after php-process

Please take a look at this page: http://www.hipchap.se/stadakuteninorr.se/kontakt/

Do you get a thank-you page ("Tack in swedish") after sending the form. For me it stops at the url process-tack.php.

the code for the process-tack.php is

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset ="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<?php 

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $ort = $_POST['ort'];

    $telefon = $_POST['telefon'];

    $klickad = "None";
        if(isset($_POST['klickad'])){
        $klickad = implode(", ", $_POST['klickad']);}

    $message = $_POST['message'];

    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: $email \r\n";


    $to = "emil.wallgren@hotmail.se";
    $subject = "StädAkuten | Meddelande";
    $msg =  "Namn: $name \n" . 
            "-------------------------------\n" .
            "Kundens e-mail: $email \n" .
            "-------------------------------\n" .
            "Kundens telefon: $telefon \n" .
            "-------------------------------\n" .
            "Kundens ort: $ort \n" . 
            "-------------------------------\n" .
            "Vill ha hjälp med: $klickad \n" .
            "-------------------------------\n" .
            "Meddelande:\n $message";

    mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

    header("Location: tack");
?>
</body>
</html>

Don't worry about the Swedish...But do you see something wrong in this code?

Regards!

I haven't looked into your error at all, but I noticed you have html outputted before a header redirect. I would move your entire PHP code block above all of the html. Are you getting an error from this?

Removed the html completely. Now it works! I'll se if it outputs in utf-8 though, when the meta charset is gone. But thanks anyway :-)

You just needed to move below the <?php ?> code block above ALL of your html, you didn't have to remove anything.
