How to redirect my php validation form to another page

Question

I'm really struggling here! I have a contact form which I will include that uses the jquery plugin, and uses php as a backup. This form is not all the way customized yet, but I am having trouble for a couple of days now. When I use MAMP and click submit the validation works perfectly! in both php and jquery. Then redirects me to google(eventually some other website). When I upload it to my companies site under a TEST folder. to test it I get the validation and everything working perfectly. When I submit after fixing errors in jquery it pushes to google like it is supposed to. When I take away the jquery to test the php, the validation works then when I hit submit it just stays right there on the same index.php page! I have been pulling my hair out trying so many different contact validation forms and this one seems to be working the best. I am a graphic designer with enough web experience to get me in trouble with PHP!:) Can anybody help with some advice?

Here is my index.php

<?php include('header_contact.php') ?>


<?php include('testval.php');?>

I took out the jquery for now to test the php to get it working, but when it is in the index.php page it is right below

here is the code for that.

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("#contactform").validate({
        rules: {
            Name: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 4
            },
            Email: {
                required: true,
                email: true
            },
            Describe: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 25
            },
            Phone: {
                required: true,
                number: true,

                maxlength: 1,
                range: [8,8]
            }
        },
        messages: {
            Name: {
                required: "Please enter your name",
                minlength: "Your name seems a bit short doesn't it?"
            },
            Email: {
                required: "We need your email address to contact you",
                email: "Please enter a valid email address"
            },
            Describe: {

            },
            Human: {
                required: "Are you human?",
                number: "has to be a number",
                maxlength: "That's to long!",
                range: "Please enter the correct number"
            }
        },
        errorElement: "div", //TAKE CONTROL OF ERROR MESSAGE IN CSS

        //IF I CHOOSE TO ADD CSS AND WRAP ERROR WITH BOX

        wrapper: "div", //WRAPPER AROUND THE ERROR MESSAGE
        errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
            error.insertAfter(element);
            error.addClass('message'); //ADD A CLASS TO THE WRAPPER
            /*
            error.css('position', 'absolute');
            error.css('left', offset.left + element.outerWidth());
            error.css('top', offset.top);
            */
    }
    });
});
</script>

Any help is very much appreciated!

Answer 1

It looks like you are parsing HTML in your header_contact.php . You cannot parse HTML content before a redirect. Try switching the included php files.

<?php include('testval.php');?>

<?php include('header_contact.php') ?>

尝试将test.php末尾的header位更改为如下所示：

header("Refresh:0; url=index.php");
