Redirect sendmail to page instead of error message

I've tried so many variables and been at this for hours and hours for something I know will be so simple haha, but I cannot get this to work... All I need to do, is... when the form is completed I have it redirected to a page instead of the normal error message.
Your help is appreciated.
<?php
//Retrieve form data.

//POST - in case user does not support javascript, we'll use POST instead

$email = ($_GET['email']) ?$_GET['email'] : $_POST['email'];
$comment = ($_GET['comment']) ?$_GET['comment'] : $_POST['comment'];
//flag to indicate which method it uses. If POST set it to 1
if ($_POST) $post=1;
//Simple server side validation for POST data, of course, you should validate the email
if (!$name) $errors[count($errors)] = 'Please enter your name.';

why does php fom submission keeps submitting every time I refresh?

So I submit my form and and every time I click ctrl-r it refreshes the page without alerting me it will resubmit the form. Every time I click the reload button on browser it asks me that it will reload but I already submitted the form so now I am getting a new submit every time and creating a new item in my sqlDB. I refresh and I do not know what I have to do to automatically refresh the page to where it wont save the form resubmit and is like a new page again.
where the //end else is at is where I have tried adding a header(Location:) but I get an error. I posted the error more to the bottom of the question.

I have tried adding a header(Location: index.php) But i get a weird error saying
Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/mine/Documents/www/website/schools/inc/header.php:67) in /Users/mine/Documents/www/website/schools/inc/footer.php on line 127

Unset $_POST variable after proccessing data in your footer.php
your header already send problem : It means some text was already outputted. Place your header() on top of your script. Or look at the ob_start and ob_end_clean() functions.

You can not use header() once text has been output to the browser. As your header file include presumably outputs HTML, header() cannot be used.
You can solve this in flowing ways:
Move the if statement above the header file include.
ob_start() at the top of the script to buffer the output.

Call to undefined function wp_mail in a plugin

I am trying to make a plugin which lists all users from a database with for each user a button to send an email to them. So the only way I can get with their username their email adress is to use the $POST which is given after the button is clicked. With their username I can search the db table to retreive the email. The problem here is that the page will reload and the function wp_mail is called before the pluggable.php has loaded its functions.
Here is the post:
if ($_POST) {
sendEmail(current(array_keys($_POST)));
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Email is sent!')</script>";
}
And here is the function:
function sendEmail($username) {
global $wpdb;
$user = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT email, firstname from wp_site_users WHERE username ='" . $username ."'" , ARRAY_A);
$mail = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * from wp_send_email WHERE id='1'", ARRAY_A);
$to = $user['email'];
$subject = 'Hello!';
$message = $mail['header'] . $user['firstname'] ."\n";
$message .= $mail['content'] . $username . "\n";
$message .= $mail['footer'];
$headers = 'From: '.'test#test.com'."\r\n";
echo $to . "<br>" . $subject . "<br>" . $message . "<br>" . $headers;
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
I've tried to add add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'sendEmail' ); at the header but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?

You are calling wp_mail before it's loaded..
Just include wp-load.php and go ahead!
require('../../../wp-load.php');
or
require('wp-load.php');
Depending how your script are loaded.

Call wp_mail after all of the necessary files are loaded:
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'plugins_load' );
function plugins_load() {
require MY_PLUGIN_PATH . '/includes/main.php';
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
wp_mail('youremail#gmail.com', 'Thank you', 'Message', $headers);
}

"Submit" button sends mail but doesn't redirect?

This script is driving me up the wall. It's a simple submission form. I click the "submit" button and the email with all the submitted information is generated perfectly fine.
But I can't get the button to then redirect me to the "Thank You" page.
I've tried PHP, I've tried Javascript, I've even tried good old fashioned Meta Redirect. Nothing works.
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html")
}
die();
?>
I've tried putting the "header" part at the top of the document. I've tried changing it to:
echo '<script>document.location="page2.html"; </script>';
I've generated so many emails with this script that gmail is now sending them all to spam. And I can't get the damn thing to redirect.
If anyone can help before I claw my eyes out, it would be much obliged. ^_^;;
EDIT: I've tried everything you've all suggested. It's as if the script just flat-out refuses to execute anything that comes after the mail command. Could there be a reason for this?
EDIT 2: Still nothing's working.
Here's the entire script (with Rolen Koh's modifications). Is there something hidden in here that is preventing the script from accessing anything that comes after the mail tag?

You can use the header() function to send a new HTTP header, but this must be sent to the browser before any HTML or text (so before the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration, for example).
try this,this is what I am using
function redirect($url){
if (headers_sent()){
die('<script type="text/javascript">window.location.href="' . $url . '";</script>');
}else{
header('Location: ' . $url);
die();
}
}

Try this:
$mail = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
if($mail)
{
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html");
}
Also semi-colon is missing in your header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html") line but i guess it is typo error.

use location.href
echo '<script>window.location.href="page2.html"; </script>';
The window.location object can be written without the window prefix.

The line
header("location:http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html")
Needs to be
header("Location: http://amvleague.vitaminh.info/thankyou.html");
Note the capital "L", the space after the colon, and the semicolon at the end.
If this does not resolve your issue, then you have an issue in some other piece of code. To find it, you might try looking at the php error log. If you have access to the server, you can find this by using any of the following resources for your particular server.
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/error_log-defines-file-where-script-errors-logged/
Where does PHP store the error log? (php5, apache, fastcgi, cpanel)
Where can I find error log files?
If you are on a shared host, they might have some non-standard location for this file, in which case, it might be easiest to contact them and ask where their standard location of the php error log is.

SESSION value not passing after redirection to the thank you page

I am trying to pass $email field to thank you page which appears after redirection once user submits the enquiry form.
Its a 2 step enquiry form with thank you page being last.
It seems like the SESSION is live on thank you page however the values are lost. I'd like to get $email field posted on the thank you page to an iframe. Please let me know where exactly the session id is going wrong?
Here are the codes:
Step 1: Small Enquiry form
<?php
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
require_once('validation.class.php');
if(isset($_REQUEST['btnSubmit']) == 'Next'){
$obj = new validation();
$obj->add_fields(trim($_POST['txt_fname']), 'req', 'Enter your first name.');
$obj->add_fields(trim($_POST['txt_contact']), 'req', 'Enter phone number.');
$obj->add_fields(trim($_POST['txt_finamount']), 'req', 'Enter the amount.');
$obj->add_fields(trim($_POST['sel_loantype']), 'req', 'Please select vehicle type.');
$error = $obj->validate();
if($error){
$error_msg = "".$error."";
$_SESSION['error_msgs'] = $error_msg;
header("location:".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."");
exit();
}else{
$_SESSION['form1data'] = $_REQUEST;
header("location: quick-quote.php");
exit();
/*$fname = trim($_REQUEST["txt_fname"]);
$surname = trim($_REQUEST["txt_surname"]);
$phone = trim($_REQUEST["txt_contact"]);
$finamount = trim($_REQUEST['txt_finamount']);
$sel_loantype = trim($_REQUEST['sel_loantype']);
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<table rules="all" width="100%" style="border:1px solid #666;" cellpadding="10">';
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>First Name:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($fname) . "</td></tr>";
if($surname != ''){
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Surname:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($surname) . "</td></tr>";
}
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Phone:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($phone) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Amount to Finance:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($finamount) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Loan Type:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($sel_loantype) . "</td></tr>";
$message .= "</table>";
$message .= "</body></html>";
$ToEmail = 'testemail#gmail.com';
$EmailSubject = "GET A QUICK QUOTE from ".strip_tags($fname);
$mailheader = "From: ".strip_tags($fname)."\r\n";
//$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_REQUEST["txt_email"]."\r\n";
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$MESSAGE_BODY = $message;
if(#mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader)){
$_SESSION['sucess'] = "Your message has been sent successfully.";
$_SESSION['form1data'] = $_REQUEST;
header("location: quick-quote.php");
exit;
}else{
$_SESSION['sucess'] = "Sorry! Your message has not been sent.";
$_SESSION['form1data'] = $_REQUEST;
header("location: quick-quote.php");
exit;
}*/
}
}
?>
Step 2 Code:
<?php
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
require_once('validation.class.php');
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitToCRM()
{
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://test.com.au/quick-quote/car-finance/quickquote-one.php',
data: $("#applynowform").serialize(),
beforeSend: function () {
$("#loadingimg").show();
},
success: function (){
//alert(data);
window.location.href = "http://www.test.com.au/thank-you";
}
});
Step 3: The above page sends data to quickquote-one.php form processing script which has below code.
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION))
{
session_start();
}
$_SESSION['user_email'] = $_POST['email'];
Step 4: thank you page (this page has below code)
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['user_email'] = $_POST['email'];
echo $_SESSION['user_email'];
}
?>

Add
session_set_cookie_params(0);
before your
session_start();
You can also pass the SID (session ID) between the pages using the URL to make sure it isn't lost in transition.
url: 'http://test.com.au/quick-quote/car-finance/quickquote-one.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>',
and
window.location.href = "http://www.test.com.au/thank-you?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>";
You're losing the session because you're sending the browser to the next URL without a relative path but instead a fully-qualified domain. This is a security measure to prevent session IDs from being inadvertently sent to the wrong server.
Another small solution would be to use relative paths like /page.php instead of http://www.domain.com/page.php
Read more here (PHP Manual)

In step 4 your setting
$_SESSION['user_email']
again. If the form has refreshed then your post is empty and you are overwriting the session with an empty value. Try removing it from step 4 and just leave.
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['user_email']) && !empty($_SESSION['user_email']))
{
echo $_SESSION['user_email'];
}
?>
Also you are trying to echo your session email value IF the session is NOT set. I don't think that will work if the session is actually set..

i think it is better to start a session in one page and access all the session variables throghout if all the pages are connected to eachother. it will be some thing like we create login page. When user logs in capture alll the required values in a session and can be accessed through out the application even after refresh.
$query = "SELECT Useid,UserName,AccountStatus, FullName FROM Users WHERE UserName = :UserName";
from this query we can get the session variables easily.
if($login_ok)
{
//for last visit
$Month = 2592000 + time();
//this adds 30 days to the current time
setcookie(AboutVisit, date("F jS - g:i a"), $Month);
//last visit ends here.
$_SESSION['user'] = $row['UserName'];
$_SESSION['userid'] = $row['Useid'];
$_SESSION['fullname'] = $row['FullName'];
}
where ever you need th variable you can use like this
$username=$_SESION['user'];
I think this will work instead of startign session every time in each page.
Hope it helps
