Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? I know it should be some silly error but I've tried some PHP lint tools and they say there's no syntax errors.
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
echo "Name: " . $name . "</br>";
echo "Email: " . $email . "</br>";
echo "Message: " . $message;
//TODO: Send Email
header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks");
exit;
}
?>

$pageTitle = "Contact Mike";
