I’m trying to develop a my first CMS using WAMP5 and am having trouble inputing data from my form into the Database; I have no problem retrieving data from the table though.
I removed all passwords and set full permissions in phpmyadmin…In windows I gave the folder, subfolders and all files full permissions and it still gives me a:
Forbidden You don’t have permission to access [directory/admin/contribs/<] on this server.
I saw (but now cannot find) a thread that referred to the use of $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] as the forms action causing an issue.
any suggestions!?!?! I’m stuck.
Here’s the code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST[‘submit’])):
$cnx = mysql_connect (‘localhost’,‘root’,‘********’);
mysql_select_db (‘ciannaky’);
$firstname = $_POST[‘firstname’];
$lastname = $_POST[‘lastname’];
$email = $_POST[‘email’];
//
$sql = “INSERT INTO contribs SET
FirstName=‘$firstname’,
LastName=‘$lastname’,
Email=‘$email’”;
if (@mysql_query($sql)) {
echo (‘<p>New contributor added</p>’);
} else {
echo ('<p>Error adding new contributor: ’ .
mysql_error() . ‘</p>’);
}
?>
<p><a href=“<?=$_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]?>”>Add another Contributor</a></p>
<p><a href=“admin/contributors.php”>Return to Contributors List</a></p>
<?php
else:
?>
<div id=“stylized” class=“myform”>
<form action=“<?$_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]?>” method=“post”>
<fieldset>Add Contributor</fieldset>
<legend>* Required</legend>
<label>First Name</label><input type=“text” name=“FirstName” size=“20” maxlength=“255” /><br />
<label>Last Name</label><input type=“text” name=“LastName” size=“20” maxlength=“255” /><br />
<label>Email</label><input type=“text” name=“Email” size=“20” maxlength=“255” /><br /><br />
<input type=“submit” name=“submit” value=“SUBMIT” /></p>
</form>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
