When I click send on my enquiries form i get a 404 error. My website is www.pagegardenservices.co.uk and its the form on the enquiries page.

The code is

<?php

if ($_SERVER ["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { $name = $_POST ["name"]; $email = $_POST ["email"]; $message = $_POST ["message"]; $email_body = ""; $email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n"; $email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n"; $email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;

mail('ashley_carpenter@hotmail.com', "New Message", $email_body);

header("location: enquiries.php?status=thanks"); exit;

}

?>

<?php

$pagetitle = 'Enquiries';

$csslink = 'CSS/Enquiries.css';

include 'include/header.php';

?>

<?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET ["status"] == "thanks") { ?> <P>Thanks for sending an email. I'll be in touch</P>

sorry, the problem is in the form action, you call the enquiries.php but in your website it's capitalized(Enquiries.php). so change the form action or the file name.
