That's perfectly alright, we're all new at some point, I know I still am! ;)

You'll want to have the whole parenthesized part in quotes, like so:

header("Location: http://www.mitas.ie/");

....and that should do it.

The reason is that you're sending the browser the HTTP header "Location:
http://mitas.ie/", which tells it that the location it should be going
to is mitas.ie.

Good Luck!
