Problem with contact Form and PHP

poleman · November 21, 2007

Hi, I have no idea why this contact form is not working when it is copied directly from one that is but has just had the email address changed on it for where to send the notifications to.. hope you can help.

Here is the Contact Form html:

<p align="left"><FORM ACTION="contact.php" METHOD="post">  
<div align="left">
	<table border="0" 	cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" >
	<tbody class="body_main">


			<tr>
				<td>
				<b><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FF6600">Name:</font></b></td>
				<td class="body_small">

					<input type="text" name="name" size="20" /> </td>
			</tr>

			<tr>
				<td>
				<b><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FF6600">Contact Tel:</font></b></td>
				<td class="body_small">

					<input type="text" name="tel" size="20" /> </td>
			</tr>

			<tr>
				<td>
				<b><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FF6600">Email:</font></b></td>
				<td class="body_small">

					<input type="text" name="email" size="30" /> <br>
				</td>
			</tr>



			<tr>
				<td valign="top"><b>
                    <font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#FF6600">Message:</font></b></td>

					<td class="body_small">
					<textarea cols="44" rows="5" input type="text" name="message" /></textarea><br>
						<br>
							 </td>
			</tr>

									 </td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
</div>
<p><div align = "center">
<font face="Verdana"><input value="Submit" type="submit"></div> 
    <p></p>
    </font>
      </form>

And here is the PHP code:

Did you change servers? because it looks like the server you are on is blocking POST variables.

it's a 405 error

405 Method Not Allowed

A request was made to a URL using a request method not supported by that URL; for example, using GET on a form which requires data to be presented via POST, or using PUT on a read-only resource

yes I did change servers.

I copied it from a form which was on a server that does accept POST methods.

It seems this new server does not like it.

I did try directing the html form to the php code and have that php code hosted on the server that does allow php script. The success redirect page then shoots the success page back to the other server. It worked but is not an ideal solution.

Any ideas how I can get everything staying on the same server and get around the blocking problem?

Thanks
