How do I redirect to say a thank you page if someone fills out this form:

\<?php  
if(isset($\_POST[‘action’])) { // Checking for submit form  
$my\_email = "jeanette@jeanettekwok.com"; // Your email address  
if($\_POST[‘action’]==‘add’) {  
$name = trim(strip\_tags(addslashes($_POST[‘name’])));  
$email = trim(strip\_tags(addslashes($POST[‘email’])));  
$subject = trim(strip\_tags(addslashes($POST[‘subject’])));  
$message = trim(strip\_tags(addslashes($POST[‘message’])));  
$pattern = '/^[^\W][a-zA-Z0-9]+(.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)\*@[a-zA-Z0-9]+(.[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\*.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/’;

```
	if($email != "" && $message != "") {
		if(preg_match($pattern, $email)) {
			$messages	= "Name: " . $name . "

```

" . $message;  
$headers = "From: " . $email . "  
";  
mail($my\_email,$subject,$messages,$headers);  
echo “success|\<div class=‘alert alert-success’\>\<button type=‘button’ class=‘close’ data-dismiss=‘alert’\>×\</button\>Thank you for your interest in our work. We will get back to you very shortly.\</div\>”;  
} else {  
echo “error|\<div class=‘alert alert-error’\>\<button type=‘button’ class=‘close’ data-dismiss=‘alert’\>×\</button\>Please enter a valid email address.\</div\>”;   
}  
} else {  
echo “error|\<div class=‘alert alert-error’\>\<button type=‘button’ class=‘close’ data-dismiss=‘alert’\>×\</button\>Please fill all the required fields.\</div\>”;   
}  
}  
} else { // Submit form false  
header(“Location: index.html”);   
}  
?\>

Right now, it shows a thank you message. I need to redirect to a page.  
Thanks,

Jeanette
