asana Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm having a problem on a PayPal payment completed page when clicking their "Return to Website" button. The button is configured to return to a static HTML (SHTML) page and I'm getting the following error: METHOD NOT ALLOWED The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL (my site's page URL) I'm assuming that this occurs because PayPal is sending some type of form as part of the redirect and of course, the HTML page chokes on trying to receive it. My question is, will simply changing the file extension of my page from ".shtml" to ".PHP" be a kosher solution? Would I need to assign the "_GET" variable to a local variable in the page, or will a PHP page just accept a passed form without requiring any variable assignments?

RaythMistwalker Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 try changing it to .PHP and see what it says then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesta707 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It should work. a .PHP extension doesn't NEED PHP, but it capable of running it on the server. If there is no PHP the server will just return the HTML IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
