Creating a website form in PHP?

Hello guys,

I was just wondering what I was doing wrong here, I’ve ‘created’ a website form in PHP but when I click my submit button it doesn’t seem to fetch:

php.php?s=1

or

php.php?s=2

which is then used to print either Success or Failure.

Here’s my code:

<html>
<head>

  <title></title>
  <meta charset="utf-8" /> 
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="footer.css" type="text/css"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="header.css" type="text/css"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="php/phpbody.css" type="text/css"/>

</head>

<!--body-->
<body>
	<div id="container">
		<h3 id="h3">Contact Me:</h3>
		<?php
			$s = isset($_GET['s']) ? $_GET['s'] : '';
			if ($s=="1") {
				echo ('<span class="success">Success! Your enquiry has been sent.</span>');
			}else if ($s=="2"){
				echo ('<span class="fail">Sorry! Your enquiry has not been sent. 
					Please ensure you have filled in the form correctly.</span>');
			}
		?>
		<h5 id="h5">To contact me, please use this form, created with PHP:</h5>
		<form id="form1" name="form1" method="POST" action"php/send.php">
			<strong>First Name:</strong><br><input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname"><br><br>
			<strong>Last Name:</strong><br><input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname"><br><br>
			<strong>E-mail:</strong><br><input type="text" name="email" id="email"><br><br>
			<strong>Enquiry:</strong><br><textarea name="enquiry" id="enquiry" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea><br><br>
			<strong>Security:</strong> 6 + 4 = <input type="text" name="security" id="security" size="1"><br><br>
			<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit"/>
		</form>
	</div>	

  <?php include('header.php'); ?>
  <?php include('footer.php'); ?>

</body>
</html>

Send.php:

[php]

<?php $firstname = $_POST['firstname']; $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $enquiry = $_POST['enquiry']; $security = $_POST['security']; $to = "[email protected]"; $subject= "New Form Enquiry"; $message = "A potential employer has submitted an enquiry from your website:\n\n First Name: $firstname\n\n Last Name: $lastname\n\n Email: $email \n\n Enquiry: $enquiry\n\n You should probably respond."; if($security = "10"){ mail($to,$subject,$message); header("Location:php.php?s=1"); //php.php being the forms location }else{ header("Location:php.php?s=2"); //php.php being the forms location } ?>

[/php]

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

It would be better to do this in one page instead of bouncing around.
