    Before you fix your email script you should probably learn PHP security.

        What teetot was trying to suggest is that hackers can take over your server to send out spam on their behalf, using that script. Here's one place you can start reading how to protect yourself on this particular issue; there are plenty of other resources on security.

        It also struck me that there may be some inadvertent output from line 8 that could be tripping you up. I think as little as a blank space or a single blank line would be enough for PHP to determine that the body has started to be delivered, and thus it's too late to modify the headers. That's why you want to output header info as quickly as possible.

    I cant reproduce the error.

    The code you posted doesnt have 29 lines.

    Anyway try replacing:
    echo 'Message sent correctly';
    with this:
    echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=myOtherPage.php">';

    You should not use header and echo together for successful message make seperate php page and print message of successfully sent there

    Use PHP echo to call a meta tag page refresh to your desired URL.
