Method not allowed error

Hi.

I'm working on a contact form for my website. I've done this earlier this day and then all of it works fine, I received mails with questions that were filled in in the contactform. When I quitted Dreamweaver and took a look a couple of minutes ago I did get this error when I want to submit de contact form: {"code":"MethodNotAllowedError","message":"POST is not allowed"}

What did I do wrong? I'll put the HTML and PHP down here.

HTML:

<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">

  <form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">

<table width="450px">

<tr>

<td valign="top">

  <label for="first_name">First Name *</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

  <input  type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top"">

  <label for="last_name">Last Name *</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

  <input  type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top">

  <label for="email">Email Address *</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

  <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top">

  <label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

  <input  type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top">

  <label for="comments">Comments *</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

  <textarea  name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="25" rows="6"></textarea>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">

  <input type="submit" value="Submit">   <a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php">Email Form</a>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

        // your error code can go here

        echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";

        echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";

        echo $error."<br /><br />";

        echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";

        die();

    }

  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {

    died($error_message);

  }

    $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

   

    function clean_string($string) {

      $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");

      return str_replace($bad,"",$string);

    }

   

    $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";

    $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";

    $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";

    $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";

    $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";

// create email headers

$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

I do not understand the link in

<input type="submit" value="Submit">   <a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php">Email Form</a>

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

It's some kind of link where I got the form code from. I already deleted it, but it has nothing to do with te error.

At a guess you maybe trying too process a php page locally without having a local server set up?

I think so. I filled in my server settings in Dreamweaver, but I don't really know.

Are you trying to view your pages locally, if so have you installed a local server like Mamp on your computer to parse php files and are your site documents in the http docs folder of your local server, does any of that sound familiar?
