So I have used the code:
<form action="../scripts/mail.php" method="POST"> <p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name"> <p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email"> <p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br /> <input type="submit" value="Send"><input type="reset" value="Clear"> </form>
and the php file linked is
<?php $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; $formcontent=" From: $name n Phone: $phone Message: $message"; $recipient = "email@live.com"; $subject = "Contact Form"; $mailheader = "From: $email rn"; mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!"); echo "Thank You!" . " -" . "<a href='form.html' style='text-decoration:none;color:#ff0099;'> Return Home</a>"; ?>
The error when testing is: {“code”:”MethodNotAllowedError”,”message”:”POST is not allowed”}
What am I doing wrong?

There is no $phone variable defined yet you’re trying to use it. Also see this in relation to Adobe products: https://community.adobe.com/t5/dreamweaver/quot-code-quot-quot-methodnotallowederror-quot-quot-message-quot-quot-post-is-not-allowed-quot-php/td-p/8967727?page=1
Try this, just to be double paranoid:
<form method="post" action="../scripts/mail.php"> <p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name"> <p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email"> <p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br /> <input type="submit" value="Send"><input type="reset" value="Clear"> </form>
mail.php :
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; $formcontent=" From: $name n Email: $email Message: $message"; $recipient = "email@live.com"; $subject = "Contact Form"; $mailheader = "From: $email rn"; mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!"); echo "Thank You!" . " -" . "<a href='form.html' style='text-decoration:none;color:#ff0099;'> Return Home</a>"; }
