[PHP-DB] 405 Error with Apache 1.3.20/PHP 4.2.1 From: Tim Legg (php <email protected>)
Date: 06/29/02

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I have PHP 4.2.1 installed and have my phpinfo(); available for you at:

        http://pc047113.stuorg.iastate.edu/phpinfo.php

And have Apache 1.3.20 installed and its httpd.conf is available at:

        http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/httpd.txt

I was playing around with an online tutorial for using php with mysql at:

        http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index3a_page4.html?tw=programming

I am working my way through the tutorial just fine, but I run into trouble
when it comes to POSTing from web forms. PHP interacts with MySQL just
fine, but Apache has a problem with me posting form data.

What I get back is a 405 Method Not Allowed.

"The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /index.html"

I find this interesting because index.html has nothing to do with my
experimental page. You can recreate the error here:

        http://pc047113.stuorg.iastate.edu/test.php

If you wish to see the source (with mysql password modified, of course),
refer to:

        http://www.public.iastate.edu/~legg/freebsd/test.php.txt

What I need to know is what must I change to allow a web user to enter
arbitrary data and allow Apache to return the data to php/mysql.

Thanks In Advance,

Tim Legg
