Can't refresh page when sending e-mail in Codeigniter - php

Question

I have email form in my codeigniter, it is sending e-mails successfully i just cannot make it refresh page when the e-mail will be sent, if I send email and then refresh page manually it writes your e-mail has been sent successfully which is written in flashdata in my language, which means that everything is okay I just can not refresh page automatically, please help.
This is my contact Controller :
class Contact extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->load->library('session');
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$data['title'] = "Contact";
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('contact', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer', $data);
}
public function sendmail1(){
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$name = $this->input->post('contact-name');
$email = $this->input->post('contact-email');
$subject = $this->input->post('contact-subject');
$phone = $this->input->post('contact-phone');
$message = $this->input->post('contact-message');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact-name', 'სახელი', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact-email', 'ელ-ფოსტა', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact-phone', 'ტელეფონი', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact-subject', 'წერილის თემა', 'trim');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('contact-email', 'ელ-ფოსტა', 'trim|required|valid_email');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('warmatebulia', '<h5 style="color: red;">თქვენი წერილის გაგზავნა ვერ მოხერხდა.</h5>');
// after storing i redirect it to the controller
redirect(base_url().'contact', 'refresh');
return FALSE;
}
else {
$this->email->from($email, $name);
$this->email->to('info#mymail.com');
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message('ტელეფონის ნომერი:'.$phone.'<br />'.$message);
$this->email->send();
$this->session->set_flashdata('warmatebulia', '<h5 style="color: green;">თქვენი წერილი წარმატებით გაიგზავნა, მადლობა.</h5>');
// after storing i redirect it to the controller
redirect('', 'refresh');
}
}
}
This is my form on contact view page :
<?php echo $this->session->flashdata('warmatebulia'); ?>
<?php
$attributes = array('class' => 'form-message', 'id' => 'quote-contact-request');
echo form_open('contact/sendmail1', $attributes);
?>
<div class="form-results"></div>
<div class="form-group row">
<div class="form-field col-md-6 form-m-bttm">
<input name="contact-name" type="text" placeholder="სახელი *" class="form-control required">
</div>
<div class="form-field col-md-6">
<input name="contact-email" type="email" placeholder="ელ-ფოსტა *" class="form-control required">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<div class="form-field col-md-6 form-m-bttm">
<input name="contact-phone" type="text" placeholder="ტელეფონის ნომერი*" class="form-control required">
</div>
<div class="form-field col-md-6">
<input name="contact-service" type="text" placeholder="წერილის თემა" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<div class="form-field col-md-12">
<textarea name="contact-message" placeholder="წერილი *" class="txtarea form-control required"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="გაგზავნა" class="btn solid-btn sb-h">
<?php echo form_close(); ?>

If you need to flash a success message in your contact page itself, you just redirect to index() function of your 'Contact' controller. So please do like this
$this->session->set_flashdata('warmatebulia', '<h5 style="color: green;">თქვენი წერილი წარმატებით გაიგზავნა, მადლობა.</h5>');
// after storing i redirect it to the controller
redirect('contact', 'refresh');
