Method Not Allowed

Anon

Hi All,

I wonder whether someone could help me, I have browsed through the archives and tried some suggestions but not had any luck so far.

Running - Solaris 7, Apache 1.3.19, php 4.04.

I'm trying to get a test html form working with php using the post method :

When I then click on submit, I get method post not allowed from my web browser (Tried IE & Netscape). I also get the same problem with the 'get' method.

I have tried changing my httpd.conf file, and have php & php3 uncommented at the moment. I have also tried different file extensions (.php & .php3). I have also tried moving the scripts to the cgi-bin but to no avail. Sometimes the actual code is displayed on the screen.

If anyone could help I would be most grateful, I'm just trying to learn PHP and aren't getting to far at the moment!!

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

I just had the same problem, but strangely enough only with Netscape 4.76 (Unix and Mac), but not with IE5 (Mac). So it had to be a browser-issue. And indeed, it was. You probably used <?php $PHP_SELF ?> in your forms "action"-parameter. But in your html-source code you just get action="". Netscapes (and probably others as well) don't specify a script to handle your submitted form,so you get this error (in my case it was something similar when I tried the "get"-method, by the way).
You can avoid all this by simply using <?php echo $PHP_SELF ?> in your action-tag to make the name of your script visible in the source. That's it.

Would be nice if you'd give me a feedback whether it worked or not.
