Sounds like POSTing isn't enabled for your script. Talk to your hosting provider to see what's up with that.

How do I enable it? (my website isnt published)

[requinix]

Are you running this site on your own computer? With IIS? How did you set it up?

[dorfhima]

Yes, I run the site on my computer using IIS

[requinix]

How did you set it up?

[dorfhima]

What do you mean?

[requinix]

What did you do to make IIS support PHP, and what did you do to make IIS run the website you're running with PHP?

 

Actually no, let's just skip to the chase: iis method not allowed

Unless you're planning to run IIS on your production server as well, I suggest you get rid of it and install a more common webserver, namely Apache. For Apache, there are complete development packages like XAMPP which are preconfigured and already include all relevant software (PHP, MySQL, phpmyadmin, ...).

 

IIS is exotic. You won't get a lot of help for it outside of specialized Microsoft forums, and you might actually have to do your own research (that's scary, I know).
