The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.

HI,

I can't see any posts about this but apologies if duplicating. I am trying to create an upload form and kepp experiencing the following error message:

405 Method not Allowed
The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.

The script for the upload.php file is:

<?php

if (isset($POST['Submit'])) {
if (!empty($FILES['upload']['name'])) {
$ch = curl_init();
$localfile = $FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($localfile, 'r');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://mysite.com/uploads/'.$FILES['upload']['name']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($localfile));
curl_exec ($ch);
$error_no = curl_errno($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
if ($error_no == 0) {
$error = 'File uploaded succesfully.';
} else {
$error = 'File upload error.';
}
} else {
$error = 'Please select a file.';
}
}
?>

It's driving me crazy because I imagine it's probably something simple. Please help me see the wood for the trees!

Cheers,

Please when posting code place it between [php] and [/php] tags so that its easier to read.

I am not a curl expert but I know that this usually means the HTTP VERB either POST or GET wasnt accepted by the web host.

I found an example here and tried to put it into the context of your needs:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
	if (!empty($_FILES['upload']['name'])) {
		$request_url = http://mysite.com/uploads/'.$_FILES['upload']['name']; // I am unsure of how you are uploading a file here, normally it is to a script which handles the file upload.
		$localfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
		$fp = fopen($localfile, 'r');

	$post_params['file'] = '@'.$localfile; // where 'file' is the name of the form variable expecting a file
	$post_params['submit'] = urlencode('submit');

	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_params);	

	$result = curl_exec($ch);
	$error_no = curl_errno($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	if ($error_no == 0) {
		$error = 'File uploaded succesfully.';
	} else {
		$error = 'File upload error.';
	}
} else {
	$error = 'Please select a file.';
}
}
?>

However, one item you should also look at is the fact that you are posting to a URL that includes the filename of the file you uploaded.

Normally on the server side that file that you are posting to is a script that handles the upload.

I hope I have helped point you into the right direction.

Thanks, it'll prbably take me a while to get my head around this but I'll let you know how I get on.
