Background Story:
After making some changes to the company website last year, I wrote a script to email me when an error 404 occurs, so I can find out if I missed anything and the customers can...

No need to apologise
Thankyou for trying so hard, I really did appreciate your effort! :D

for the time being I've solved the problem, by running the script on a Mac, as Macs aren't case sensitive, they are case preserving, the script worked fine with no problems. Marking as solved but...
