Php redirect not working on submission

I'm trying to redirect to another page once a csv has been generated by a clicking the submit button. So far, when i click the button it sends the CSV and it gives me the message "Success" which makes me think it's working well.

However, what i really want the page to redirect after the submission has been made. I've added header(location: ) within the else statement but it's not doing anything.

Can anyone help me please? 

    if ( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) ) {

    function send_csv_mail ($csvData, $body, $to = '[email protected]', $subject = 'Test email with attachment', $from = '[email protected]') {

    global $post;
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();

      // This will provide plenty adequate entropy
      $multipartSep = '-----'.md5(time()).'-----';

      // Arrays are much more readable
      $headers = array(
        "From: $from",
        "Reply-To: $from",
        "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$multipartSep\""
      );

      // Make the attachment
      $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(create_csv_string($csvData))); 

      // Make the body of the message
      $body = "--$multipartSep\r\n"
            . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed\r\n"
            . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n"
            . "\r\n"
            . "$body\r\n"
            . "--$multipartSep\r\n"
            . "Content-Type: text/csv\r\n"
            . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
            . "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".date('Y-m-d')."-".str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower(get_user_meta($user_id, "wpcf-branch-active", true)))."-file.csv\"\r\n"
            . "\r\n"
            . "$attachment\r\n"
            . "--$multipartSep--";

       // Send the email, return the result
       return @mail($to, $subject, $body, implode("\r\n", $headers)); 

    }

    $array = array(
                    array("Code", "Product Category", "Product Family", "Description", "Quantity", "Bay"),          
    );



    send_csv_mail($array, "Hello World!!!\r\n This is simple text email message.");



    if(!send_csv_mail) {
         echo "Error"; 
    }
    else {
        echo "success";
   Header("Location: somewhere.php");
    die();
    }



    }

I think this is the best solution I always use it: This is a common problem: use HTML redirect like below:

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; url=./somewhere.php\" />";

If you use this way. you can also set time to redirect like if you want to wait for 1 sec you can write like below.

 echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1; url=./somewhere.php\" />";

An alternative is to end your PHP tag after success, and then use:

<script>
location.replace("somewhere.php");
</script>

and then pick up your PHP tag to catch your closing brackets.

While this is JavaScript, for your purposes, it will work brilliantly everytime.

You can't send data to the client/buffer and then set an header, because the header was already sent. Remove echo "success"; and it will work. You can use ob_clean() to clean the buffer too, check here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-clean.php

You can use WordPress redirect function

wp_redirect( $url );
