Method Post not allowd?
 

Hey guys i was doing some PHP, i am still rather new to it, and i was making a form i wanted it to take a name the user puts in a basic HTML form and out put it (just the first small step to a user name and pass word form). I coded it up what i thought was corectly and ran it i used the method post in the form, when i hit submit it brings up an error

This was on the host that i am renting space from. I then remembered that my first day trying out PHP i had made a user name and password form on a free host. So i looked up my old code and tested it. It worked so i copy pasted the code into a new web page on the host i am paying for and tested it. I recived the same error. With the code beeing exacly the same i know that is not the problem. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way to fix it?

by the way i use hostgator.com

Edit: I tried using Get rather then post and it din't give me the error but it did not do anything eaither just sat there

Thanks in advanced

Posting your .php file would be helpfull.

check the form action, be sure it's pointing to a php file..
<form action="file.php" method="post" name="formName">

Ok thanks. I have the PHP running inside of the acual HTML page it had worked with the free host so i figured it was ok. I will make a PHP driver when i am done working on the police departments Explorer website, and post weather it worked. thanks.

did you double check everything? also if you did and you still get your error it mght be that your hoster doesnt support PHP 4 or 5.

The way i do things like this is to have a html file and a php file , not using php in the html file.

So in a html file you would do summat like

<form action="script.php" method="post" name="Moooo">
<input name="username" type="text"/> Username
</form>

Then in the php.

$username = $_POST['username'];

echo $username;

Sometimes i liek to use the STRreplace just to clean the username of odd chars.

$username = str_replace (" ", "_", $username);



Hope this helps in any way :)

Perhaps your host blocked it.
