You can redirect user after successful submission, however it can only be done if you are submitting values to a secure URL (like https://www.example.com).

This post helped me create an AMP redirect response for C# thank you:
public virtual ActionResult AmpRedirect(string redirectUrl, string __amp_source_origin)
{
if (redirectUrl != string.Empty)
{
HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("AMP-Redirect-To", redirectUrl);
HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("AMP-Access-Control-Allow-Source-Origin", __amp_source_origin);
HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "AMP-Redirect-To, AMP-Access-Control-Allow-Source-Origin");
}
HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("Content-type", "text/json");
return Json(new {Content = ""});
}

Thank you for the guidance here. I'm also unable to get this code to work. I've uploaded the code to my server and tested on-line. Upon clicking submit, the text submitted disappears; there is no success or error message. The email is never received by my inbox.
Here is the exact code that I use, just replacing "mywebsite" with the real name of my site:

Good morning, I have a form on a test AMP page (is AMP validate) and the form works: I receive the email with result (I use a php to handle it). I don't know (I did some try but I think I still missing an example) the syntax for let the AMP page responce correctly (now I get "Subscription failed!" but I do get the email) or redirect after submission. Here my example:
AMP page with form (I receive form result after submission but I don't know how to redirect or get "Subscription successful!" message)
Non AMP page with form (I receive form result and it redirect correctly)
action-xhr file destination code: Code of the php here in txt format (the file that handle the form result)
Any example will be great for me also only about redirect. Thank you
