I got a web service from you guys some time ago, and I need vistors to my site submit some info which is to be stored in mysql database on the site, but I keep getting this error "Method Not Allowed The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL". Is it that the service you offer does not support the post method?

What's your website address? What application are you using to interact with the database?

I advise that you install a ready-made PHP/MYSQL application to do this for you. You are most likely going to run into hitches by trying to build yours from scratch.

I just used my codes on free web hosting site and it worked. I think the problem is from your side. I also check my php info on my site and there was no support for post method. All there is, is the get method which is not appropriate for this kind of thing. The free web hosting site I used is x10hosting.com. Pls do something about this.

Their is no problem on our side, if there was, this forum will not function since it runs on PHP/MYSQL as well. The reason for this is very simple. Your script was most likely written to work with PHP 5 and the host you mentioned runs PHP 5 on their server by default.
This server has both PHP 4 and PHP 5 installed. By default the server will use PHP 4 to process PHP pages. You can easily configure your account to use PHP 5 by adding a line to the apache .htaccess file for your account.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
I must however state that using PHP 5 for the simply task you want is an overkill. PHP 4 can handle it easily, that is why i recommended a ready-made (PHP 4) script.

If you want to use your existing script, just add the line of code i gave you to your htaccess file. On the other hand, you can elaborate about what you want so i can recommend a script for you.

I tried your suggestion, i.e tried adding AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php to the Handler space and .php5 to the extension(s) space, I tried it, it didnot work. I deleted and tried application/x-httpd-php5 and .php5 as extension and it also didnt work. How should I add this handler?

What I want to do is to have a form on my webpage where visitors can fill their names, addresses, emails etc and submit these information and the information would be passed into my website database, and where i can retrieve these information and subsequently down load it into my database on my computer.

Why not try phpFormGenerator. You can install in minutes using Fantastico. It is one of the free scripts that comes with fantastico, and it is available in your cpanel.
