405 Method Not Allowed

[Anon]

For sometime now I've been experiencing an annoying problem with some of my form processing using php with apache.

Out of the blue I get 405 Method Not Allowed error. So far this has only happened with Netscape. I have also seen many postings about the same problem, with nobody able to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Frustrated and determined to come up with a solution, I decided to change things around a bit, since I cannot afford to shut out netscape users from using my site.

After about an hour of trial and error, I discovered that using $PHP_SELF with Netscape is the cause of the problem.

The error disappeared when I replaced $php_self with the actual name of the file.

My setup is php4, apache 1.3, Win2000.

I hope this works for others out there.

Can you please submit the code (as small as possible with the error intact) and the name of the page (the name stored in $PHP_SELF

Richie,

I am having the same problem with my form processing in PHP. I got this same error when I tried to view my forms with IE and Netscape. I am going to try your solution and see it works for me. Thanks a bunch.
