Custom form on pages leads to 404?

I am trying to add a form that updates a MySQL DB to a page, but the submit leads to the WP 404 page. The form action goes to a page that has ‘alumni’ as the parent page and is named ‘update’ and has its own template (/alumni/update/).

Check out the code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Edit Alumni
*/
?>

<?php
$link = mysql_connect(“localhost”, “user”, “pass”) or die(“Could not connect : ” . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(“DBname”) or die(“Could not select database”);

//Edit a student ?id=12
$id = $_GET[‘id’];
$gofetch = mysql_query (“SELECT * FROM alumni WHERE id=$id”);
$values = mysql_fetch_array($gofetch, MYSQL_ASSOC);
//echo “<div class=\”astudent\”>$values[last], $values[first] graduated in $values[speciality] $values[year]</div><div class=\”syear\”>$values[picture]</div>”;
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”alumnicontent”>
<div class=”post”>
<h1>Edit Alumni</h1>

<form id=”ealumni” action=”http://beta.thedomainname.org/alumni/update/&#8221; method=”post”>
<div class=”group”>
<label for=”first”>First Name:</label>
<input name=”first” id=”first” class=”input” type=”text” size=”20″ <?php if(isset($values[first])) echo “value=\””.$values[first].”\””;?> /> <span class=”required”>*</span>
<label for=”last”>Last Name:</label>
<input name=”last” id=”last” type=”text” class=”input” size=”20″ <?php if(isset($values[last])) echo “value=\””.$values[last].”\””;?> /> <span class=”required”>*</span>
</div>
<br class=”clearboth” />
<div class=”group”>
<label for=”degree”>Degree:</label>
<input name=”degree” id=”degree” class=”input” type=”text” size=”20″ <?php if(isset($values[speciality])) echo “value=\””.$values[speciality].”\””;?> />   
<label for=”year”>Year:</label>
<input name=”year” id=”year” class=”input” type=”text” size=”20″ <?php if(isset($values[year])) echo “value=\””.$values[year].”\””;?> />
</div>
<br class=”clearboth” />
<label for=”image”>Image:</label>  
<input type=”file” name=”image” size=”25″ maxlength=”255″ <?php if(isset($values[picture])) echo “value=\””.$values[picture].”\””;?> />

<input type=”hidden” name=”id” value=”<?=$id?>” />
<input type=”submit” name=”Submit” value=”Submit” class=”submit” />
</form>

<?php //get_editAlumniForm(); ?>

<br class=”clearboth” />
Go Back
<?php
mysql_close($link);
?>
<br class=”clearboth” />
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
