PHP: Redirect to another page after HTML form executes a php script (wordpress)

I got a HTML form on a wordpress website which executes a PHP script after submitting. That works fine, but after the PHP script is executed I need to redirect to another wordpress page, does anyone knows how I could do that?

Here's the HTML code on my Wordpress page:

<form action="[insert_php] include('wp-content/logindataupload.php');         
[/insert_php]" method="post" >First name
<input name="field1" type="text" />
Name
<input name="field2" type="text" />
E-Mail
<input name="field3" type="text" />

<input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form>

And here's the code in the "logindataupload.php" file:

<?php
 $path = 'wp-content/uploadhistory.txt';

 if (isset($_POST['field1']) && isset($_POST['field2']) && isset($_POST['field3'])) {
    $fh = fopen($path,"a+");
    $string = $_POST['field1'].$_POST['field2'].'_'.$_POST['field3']."\n";
    fwrite($fh,$string); // Write information to the file
    fclose($fh); // Close the file
 }

 $path2 = 'wp-content/currentupload.txt';

 file_put_contents($path2, "");

 if (isset($_POST['field1']) && isset($_POST['field2']) && isset($_POST['field3'])) {
    $fh = fopen($path2,"a+");
    $string = $_POST['field1'].$_POST['field2'].'_'.$_POST['field3'];
    fwrite($fh,$string); // Write information to the file
    fclose($fh); // Close the file
 }

?>

I'm quite new into PHP and I think I have to do the redirect in the "logindataupload.php" file. I already tried to insert the following behind the last "?>"

header("Location: http://page-i-want-to-redirect-to.com"); /* Redirect browser */

If something's missing, please tell me. Thank you very much.

This should be a comment, but its a bit long.

does anyone knows how I could do that?

Yes - and your question should be closed as a duplicate of this one or this one or many others here on SO.

By the look of things you are new to computers and programming. Writing to flat files on a multi-user system is not a recipe for a successful outcome.

Copying the same blocks of code and injecting different variable settings in between is not good programming practice.

$fh = fopen($path,"a+");
$string = $_POST['field1'].$_POST['field2'].'_'.$_POST['field3']."\n";
fwrite($fh,$string); // Write information to the file
fclose($fh); // Close the file
header("Location: logindataupload.php");
exit();
}

use the header function like this if this didnt work just add ob_start(); at the beginning of the page
