I Tried To Send A Form On Website That I Just Completed

Everything On The Site Works But The Send Button In The Forms.

This Is The Message Page That Came Up After I Pressed The Send Button, Does Anyone Know How To Fix This??? Or Send A Form That Actually Works???

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Maybe there was a problem with the code that you wrote. Sometimes problems can slip under the radar, when something happens when you don't want it to.

Hi CRYSTAL MORRIS .

403 errors are caused by a number of different problems. The main 2 of these problems are :

  1. The file that is being executed once the form is being submitted does not have an execute permission on the server you are using.
  2. The web server maybe not have the permission to execute php code.

These problems usually come down to permission errors, hence the forbidden element of the error.

If you can provide a bit more information like is this your site? and do you have access to the files? we might be able to help.

Yes, that would most likely be the case for the problem that Crystal is having.

Where does <a href='https://bay182.mail.live.com/default.aspx?id=64855&mkt=en-US&rru=inbox'>https://bay182.mail.live.com/default.aspx?id=64855&mkt=en-US&rru=inbox</a> go to?

Are you assuming having action="https://bay182.mail.live.com/default.aspx?id=64855&mkt=en-US&rru=inbox" will automatically send the form to that email address?

I would refer back to the previous question you asked in this forum, that provides a much better insight into what you need to do to fix this issue.

Stone Preston explained to you in the previous post how to go about sending an email from a form.

Follow what he said and you should be able to do it.

This Is The Site That I Created, This Is A Copy Of The Praise Report Form.
I Wanted To Make Sure That The Praise Report Would Go To My Hotmail Account As A Test. Everything On The Site Works Great But The Forms There Are 3 Of Them Take A Look At The Site. I Was Happy To Finally Finish It.
