phpmailer not redirecting when mail is sent

I am using phpmailer to send emails, when email is successfully sent then i want to redirect the page to other page, but it is not working.

I tried using server side redirect ie header(); but it is not working.

when i try it for client side its perfectly redirect to other page. And i have not used any sessions on this page or the other page.

below is the code what i have tried

if(!$mail->Send()){
 echo "Mailer Error: ". $mail->ErrorInfo;
}else{
 //echo "Message sent!";
 header('Location: contactus-thankyou.php');
 ?>
    <!-- <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=contactus-thankyou.php" /> -->
 <?php
}

The reason is that the output is getting buffered before the header loaction statement and header statement usually don't like echo or outputs from server before it. just use obs_start(); at the top and obs_end_flush(); at the end : example:

    obs_start();
    php mailer script starts.........
    ...
    obs_end_flush();
header("Location: index.php");

You can use jQuery to redirect instead and it works.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
       setTimeout(function(){
           location.href="../index.php";
       });
    });
</script>

The solution is: put SMTPDebug value in 0.

$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;

try removing the space between location and the url

header('Location:contactus-thankyou.php');

you can use

echo "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>location.href='contactus-thankyou.php'</script>";

in place of 

header('Location: contactus-thankyou.php');
