Not sure if you have to put POST in quotes... try it, it might work!

Hey, Nick. I ran into the same error.

I got around that by making at lowercase -- "post" instead of "POST." Seems silly, but worked for me!

And I will get back to you about your message ASAP!

I've been working on this 1 challenge for about 3.5 hours only to get smacked with crazy validation errors that I don't understand. I tried googling and hitting up some forums, but neither have helped.

On my HTML file, I'm getting Validation errors that read:

Error Line 65, Column 6: end tag for "form" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Error Line 65, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: form line 54 and body.

Note: I get the same 2 errors for my html tag.
Also note: My php file was written using the very same template, and that file checked out as 100% golden. So I'm left being way confused, because my tags are fine. I've double, triple, and quadruple checked them. I don't get why this file isn't checking out ok.
