Easy Question I think

Hi guys,
I have a contact form on my website:

www.soundtrack.ie/contact

I want to be able to put a redirect into my code so that when someone uses the send email form, it redirects back to the same contact page - currently it just stays on a blank page once its sent.

Here is the code - I just want to know what to put in here to make it redirect back to the same page again?

Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "emmett.cooke@gmail.com";
$subject = "Music";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
 
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

This can be done few ways.
if you want to show a message for few seconds then

PHP Code:

  echo "Message sent...<br />
  <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;url=http://www.website_url_here'>";

otherwise

PHP Code:

  ob_clean();
header("Location: http://www.url_here",true,301);
exit();
