We are using the webhost we have now pretty much because they offered us hosting for free along with our internet service... I'm fairly new at this company so I didn't have any say in the decision (though I intend to let them know I'd like something better). So to say our hosting plan is low on features would be a bit kind.
And here is where I run into problems. I need to submit data from a form to another page, but when I attempt to use the POST method, I get a page that says "This method is not allowed" or something along those lines. I talked with my host today and they said they wouldn't allow it and were not going to change it for me. I can't use GET, since I have one field that could be very large and another that will likely carry a user's password (which I don't want to be passed thru on the address bar for security reasons).
So does anyone have any suggestions as to another way I can pass this data? I need to be able to take user submitted data and enter it into an XML file that is saved on the server... can I do this in Javascript?
No one here before me did anything other than straight HTML for the site, but since I'm getting into PHP, I've run into a number of limitations so far, and it's only been a week or two... no POST, no databases (not even mySQL), no telnet access, no access to my error logs, no access to modify php.ini.
