php redirect issue after email sent

I am getting the old header problem just cant get it to redirect how do I fix it?

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

<?php if (isset($_POST['email']))
{
  $content = '<html><body>';
  $content .= 'Email Address: '.$_POST['email'].'<br />';
  $content .= 'Enquiry Type: '.$_POST['enquiry'].'<br />';
  $content .= 'Message: '.$_POST['message'].'<br />';
  $content .= 'Telephone Number: '.$_POST['telephone'].'<br />';
  $content .= 'Preferred Contact Method:" '.$_POST['contact-method'] ;
  $content .= '</body></html>';
  $to = 'myemail*email.com';

$subject = 'Website Contact Form ';

$headers = "From: " . strip_tags($_POST['email']) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($_POST['email']) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers)) {
header('Location:form-submitted.php');
    }

}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Here's the explanation: Remove everything that might me printing to the website that is before the header("Location: site.php"). This is because http headers is always at the top of an request or response. This means that if you echo or print anything to the response before the header is set results in something like this:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2012 10:36:20 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.14 (Win32)
Content-Length: 230
<p>this tag should not be here</p>
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
   <title>My site</title>
</head>
<body>
   <h1>Hello</h1>
   <p>Lorem ipsum</p>
</body>
</html>

The <p> element as you can see above, may have been printed out with php, and have now corrupted the http response. Anything you want to set with the header(); function will be throwing errors.

I hope this helped :)

Use JS

if (mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers)) {   
?>
<script>window.location.replace("http://your url/");</script>
<?php 
}

It means that header is already been sent. Please try this

echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content=\"0; url=form-submitted.php\">";

You have an invalid email-id

$to = 'myemail*email.com';

Should be

$to = '[email protected]';// @ in place of *

So, mail will return false in above case.

Use exit(); After header function.

header('Location:form-submitted.php');
exit();
