When I submit I receive a 403 error

<h1>Add or update the Description of your property</h1>
<form method ="post" action = "<?php update() ?>" >
<input type="hidden" name="filename" value="description" >
<textarea name="content" rows="5" cols="100">Warning upon pressing "Update" your description will be changed.</textarea><br/><br/>

<input type="submit" name="descriptionUpdate" value="Update"/>

</form>


function update ()
{
if(isset($_POST[$_POST['filename'].'Update']))
{
$file = 'http://localhost/myweb/data/'.$_POST['filename'].'.txt';
if(!empty($file))
{
file_put_contents($file,$_POST['content']);
}else{print "The" .$_POST['filename']. "is blank....";}
}
}
Thanks in advance for your assistance...

Can you explain, which contents you expect for the action-TAG?

Code: Select all

<form method ="post" action = "<?php update() ?>" >

Actually, that code is a total nonsense. You cannot specify a PHP function in a form a action. You have to specify an URL (i.e. a filename of an PHP Script or similar). The form is interpreted (and "executed") by the browser, but the PHP Code is executed on the server BEFORE the form is sent to the browser. This never worked anywhere.

Well I recoded the form action so that it directed to a php file and it worked.

Thank you for your assistance!
