Function doesnt stop

PHP
1

I have 2 functions

  function checkFirstName($input) {
	  
	  $pattern = '/[a-zA-Z]{2,15}/';
	  if(preg_match($pattern, $input)) {
		   return true;	  
	  } else {
		  return false;
	  }
  
  }
    function checkState($input) {
	  $pattern = '/[a-zA-Z]{2}/';
	  if(preg_match($pattern, $input)) {
		   return true;	  
	  } else {
		  return false;
	  }
  }

I run them like…

if(checkFirstName($_POST['First_Name'])) {  $_SESSION['First_Name'] = $input; } else { header('Location: index.php?error=1'); } 
if(checkState($_POST['State'])) {  $_SESSION['State'] = $input; } else { header('Location: index.php?error=5'); }

I have 2 problems, when I submit the form, this is what happens
