PHP contact form 404 error

I have a PHP contact form that works in my website but after I click send I get a 404 error. As I said the email does end up being delivered but I have the 404 error problem. Any idea what’s going wrong?

PHP:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $subject = $_POST['subject'];
  $subject = $_POST['phone'];
  $mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  $mailTo = "pmd8a@yahoo.com";

  $txt = "You have received an e-mail from ".$name.".\n\n".$message;

  mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
  header("Location: index.php?mailsend");
}


 ?>

Please help.

Thanks

No. It’s actually called contactform.php. I believe I tried renaming it index.php
and it still didn’t work.

Should it be index.php in the same folder?

is in the html.

I would like the email to be sent and the page to just stay as is and not try to go to another page as it seems to be doing with the 404 error

contact form is in this

After successfully sending the form data you can display a message to the user and redirect the user to a certain page.

I just renamed it index.php and tested it. Same 404 error. I’m new to this. sorry.
Where does this

header('Location: '.$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]);

go? in the php?

I just pasted that into my php. Uploaded it and tested it. Now I get a blank white page

the email came through but the website just turned blank

my html and php are in the same folder

index.html and contactform.php

OK. I’ll give it a try. BRB

If I put in the same email adress that’s in the PHP does it not work?

it seems to be working but the SUBJECT does come in and the phone number seems to be coming in the subject spot


<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $subject = $_POST['subject'];
  $subject = $_POST['phone'];
  $mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  $mailTo = "pmd8a@yahoo.com";
  $headers = "From: ".$mailFrom;
  $txt = "You have received an e-mail from ".$name.".\n\n".$message;

  mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
  header("Location: index.html");
}


 ?>

I fixed it. phone - phone. lol

It WORKS! YOU R DA MAN!

THANKS!!!

OK. when i hit send it jumps back up to the top.

Is there any way to make it just stay in that same position?

I got it.

index.html#contact worked.

Thank you soooo much.
