[SOLVED] 403 Forbidden

[rubing]

I have a form which submits user input to a php script. 

 

echo "<form action='band_ins3.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='bands' value='$filename' />";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Approve Bands' />";
echo "</form>";

 

For some reason it returns the following error:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /exec/band_ins3.php on this server.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

If I simply navigate to the page with my browser there is no problem.  I don't get it!!

I just found this little article you might want to read.

That's very interesting...but not applicable to my situation, since my 403 error ends in a filename.  I just found something very interesting, this page is failing to load only when I including my POST or GET variable

 

here is my variable:

$file='/tmp/php6UXHrY';

 

it seems like the server is having a problem with those slashes...guess i'll have to replace them temporarily
