Method Not Allowed on a web site

nomad

Hello everyone:
I have a question to ask you.

I'm make a quiz and I get this error

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /quiz/quizaction.phtml.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.37 Server at continuingedventure.com Port 80

Here is part of my code that is giving me problems

If i upload this file and then I view that page I get an error. The clients site.
[PHP]<form action=http://abc.com/quiz/quizaction.phtml
method="POST"> [/PHP]

but if i change the code it works. My website
[PHP]<form action=http://CBS.com/quiz/quizaction.phtml
method="POST"> [/PHP]

Question is why does it work on one host site and not the other.
The clients site supports php
what do I need to do.

thanks
nomad

A reason can be that the host site script does not want to be posted, but only GET strings. You better ask the website admin of that host.

thanks again Ronald.
I email them and I have not heard from them. I hope that is not the case.
If so I don't know what I'm going to do.I'm working a subcontractor for another web designer.

Well they say it's php is working properly.

Then the only solution is to show the code of the html form. I cannot think of anynother way to go about this. Maybe there is something funny.

I Figure it out it was the extention.

OK, I see. But you said before that the extensions were identical on both systems, isn't it?

Ronald:
one of the files has some php coding in it I saved it as
.phtml (what the heck was I doing, I found a site on how to build a quiz ) should have been .php

dumb mistake.

I must admit: I completely overlooked that the extension was not .PHP! Maybe I am so biased that I automatically assume that all php code is in a .php extesnsion script.

Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Ronald don't worry about it.
You have help me in the pass and you also gave me some clues to solve this problem. I should have read the error code better.
