php form 2 step confirmation

Question

i try to challenge my self but i stuck( I try to create a php form with 2 steps confirmation:

When the user fill up the form and hit Submit, it checks all the conditions(name, pass etc.). If everything ok automatically redirecting the user.
After redirecting (to the same page) the user can check all the details again. If they ok, hit again the submit button which redirects to the final page.

I stuck on the 2nd phase...how to redirect to the final page?

I'm very beginner so i'm curios what could be done better or any advise.

<?php
 // the php code 
session_start();


if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

// setting up the variables

$title = $_POST['title'];
$fName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'fName', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$lName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'lName',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$age = intval($_POST['age']);


$_SESSION['title'] = $title;
$_SESSION['fName'] = $fName;
$_SESSION['lName'] = $lName;
$_SESSION['age'] = $age;



//checking for possible errors
if ( $fName == "" || strlen($fName) <= 2 ) {
    $errorMsg1 = "<span>Provide your First name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
    $status = false;

}
else if ( $lName == "" || strlen($lName) <= 2 ) {
    $errorMsg2 = "<span>Provide your Last name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
    $status = false;

}
else if ( $age < 18 ) {
    $errorMsg3 = "<span>You must be 18 or above!</span>";
    $status = false;

}

else {  $status = true; }

// redirecting to done page

if ($status) {
    header("Location:TEST ZONE.php?status=awaiting");
    }
  }

Add action in your form to redirect final page.

You already have all values in session so you can access it in final page also

<?php

 // the php code 
session_start();


if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

// setting up the variables

$title = $_POST['title'];
$fName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'fName', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$lName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'lName',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$age = intval($_POST['age']);


$_SESSION['title'] = $title;
$_SESSION['fName'] = $fName;
$_SESSION['lName'] = $lName;
$_SESSION['age'] = $age;



//checking for possible errors
if ( $fName == "" || strlen($fName) <= 2 ) {
    $errorMsg1 = "<span>Provide your First name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
    $status = false;

}
else if ( $lName == "" || strlen($lName) <= 2 ) {
    $errorMsg2 = "<span>Provide your Last name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
    $status = false;

}
else if ( $age < 18 ) {
    $errorMsg3 = "<span>You must be 18 or above!</span>";
    $status = false;

}

else {  $status = true; }

// redirecting to done page

if ($status) {
    header("Location:TEST ZONE.php?status=awaiting");
    }
  }

 ?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<?php

if ( isset($_GET['status']) && $_GET['status'] == "awaiting" ) {
    echo "<form action='final_page.php'>"
    . "Check your Details!<br>"
    . $_SESSION['title'] . "<br>"
    . $_SESSION['fName'] . "<br>"
    . $_SESSION['lName'] . "<br>"
    . $_SESSION['age'] . "<br>"
   // **NOW WHEN I'M in the awaiting phase, i don't know what to do(**

    . "<input type='submit' name='submit'/>";

    echo "</form>";
   }

   else {  ?>
    <form action="TEST ZONE.php" method="post">
    <h3>Register Form </h3>

    <label for="title">Title </label>
    <select name="title">
        <option name="mr">Mr</option>
