Getting this error on my site when attempting to submit a contact form

Form

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php" class="standardForm">
	<div class="field">
	<label for="name">Name</label>
	<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="textbox" />
	</div>
	<div class="field">
	<label for="email">Email</label>
	<input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="textbox" />
	</div>
	<div class="field">
	<label for="phone">Phone</label>
	<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" class="textbox" />
	</div>
	<div class="field">
	<label for="message">Message</label>
        <textarea name="message" id="message" class="textarea"></textarea>
	</div>
	<div class="field">
	<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send Message" class="button" />
	</div>
</form>

sendmail.php

<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

mail( "me@gmail.com", "Site Contact Form",
$name, $phone, $message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.me.co.uk/thankyou.html" );
?>

The sendmail.php has 644 privileges set, so not sure where to go from here.

ok so what happens if you enter you url to the script in the browser? Also, has this happened with any other php scripts?

[scrooble]

You mean by entering me.co.uk/sendmail/php in the browser? Same error. Does that isolate the issue?

[jamblo]

have a look at mod_security.

You might need to add

SecFilterScanPOST Off

to your .htaccess file.

How to disable mod_security in .htaccess file

Yes I fucking do Peter, that wasn't a sarccy reply you idiot.

[Pete Nice]

haha fuck you Scrooble.

[scrooble]

Fuck you too Peter, now give me some help and I'll touch you where you wee from

[Pete Nice]

You may need your isp to change your php.ini file. Chuck up a phpinfo.php file and see if you get an ouptut:

PHP Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

[scrooble]

Same error on that Pete.

And I can't change my .htaccess file, dont have permissions. Going to get onto 1and1, would that be related to above issue?

[iandevlin]

Does the host actually support PHP?

[scrooble]

According to this it does. However, I don't remember the package supporting it originally, would I have to request to have mine enabled?

[Pete Nice]

ahhh - now he says it's 1and1 - I'm sure there is something you have to change in the control panel - I had this problem with someone's site.

[scrooble]

Oh no....

[iandevlin]

It would explain your woes!

[scrooble]

Just out of purely laziness I've not moved. If any of you resellers out there want to bag me and make a quick buck im happy for that. Limbo?

So 1and1 is a bad mmm-kk?

[Pete Nice]

what's the permission of your public_html folder?

[scrooble]

755

[Pete Nice]

scroobs - try putting the script in a subfolder and make sure the folder has 775 permissions - I'm reading something that says that as the file is in the root and it's not named index.php or similar it won't work.

[Aibrean]

http://www.me.co.uk/thankyou.html

Would help if we saw what the real URL is.

I know Jack's Formmail works on 1and1. You could try that.

Make sure the PHP is correct (all the paths in the file).
