"The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because the page address is incorrect. "

Hi,

I'm trying to post from an asp page to a php and I get this error:

The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because the page address is
incorrect.

then later on in the same page I get the error:

http 405 resource not allowed
internet information services.

I have no experience with php so any advice on what is causing this would be
greatly appreciated (and please excuse any bone-head mistakes). Both pages
reside in the same directory.

Thanks,
AC

My only guess is:

1. You are using IIS
2. IIS doesn't know that 405 is the status code for Method Not Allowed
3. IIS is configured to not allow the POST request method

That's truly a guess, but I might be right. :-)

hmm.. I thought 'only' implied singular :)

IIRC, the manual under the installation of the OS the php is
installed on explains this issue.

It was a composite guess. :-)

Plus, why pass up the opportunity to point out stupid things about Microsoft
software (like putting the wrong description for a response status code)?

I'm not sure if Google is broken, but a search for "405 site:www.php.net"
returns zero results. I would give a specific link in the manual if I could
find one.
