404 page not found on form submit-half form process is carried out...any ideas?!

[rachwilbraham]

Hi!  I have been baffled by this for at least an hour and a half now and I think I could do with some help! 

 

Basically, I have a registration form that inserts data into a mysql table then sends an email (with PEAR mail) with an activation code to the email address provided, then should redirect to another page when this process is completed, either to  a 'success' page if the email is sent or an 'error' page if the email is not sent.  At the moment the data is being inserted to the mysql table,  but then the email is not being sent and I get the '404 Page Not Found' error for the ORIGINAL web address, not the redirect.  I'm completely stumped!  Here's the code:

 

 

$md5pass = md5($_POST['pass2']);
$activ_code = rand(10000,99999);
$server = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$host = ereg_replace('www.','',$server);

mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users
(`email`,`password`,`country`,`joined`,`activation_code`,`fname`,`lname`,`title`,`type`,`telephone`,`company`,`position`)
			  VALUES ('$_POST[email]','$md5pass','$_POST[country]',now(),'$activ_code','$_POST[first_name]','$_POST[last_name]','$_POST[title]','4','$_POST[telephone]','$_POST[company]','$_POST[position]')") or die(mysql_error());

$message = 
"Thank you for registering an account with $server. Here are the login details...\n\n
User Email: $_POST[email] \n
Password: $_POST[pass2] \n
Activation Code: $activ_code \n
____________________________________________
*** ACTIVATION LINK ***** \n
Activation Link: http://$server/activate.php?usr=$_POST[email]&code=$activ_code \n\n

";

include_once "c:\php\PEAR\Mail.php";

$from = "email";
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Registration Activation Code";
$body = $message;

$host = "IP ADDRESS";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  header ( "Location: registrationerror.php");
  //echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>Failed");
} else {
  header ( "Location: registrationsuccess.php");
  //echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}

 

I really appreciate any ideas on this one!! 

 

Thanks!
