wp redirect 301 not working in wordpress page

Question

on my wordpress page i have a form and i am redirecting my wordpress page to some other website after form submit

i have following code in my functions.php file for submitting form.

add_action('init', 'redirect');
function redirect(){
if(isset($_post['submit']))
{
    wp_redirect("www.google.com",301); exit();

}
}

but its not redirecting and showing 404 error and following url on submit http://www.mywebsite.com/my-post/www.google.com

here i am using shortcode to display form on my wordpress page.

what is the reason? any clue?

Lowercase $_post might be your problem. Try $_POST instead. If that doesn't work, I'll work up an answer for you using a different route. — Brian Fegter, Commented Mar 4, 2012 at 21:30

You need to place http:// in front of the URL for wp_redirect to work properly.
