Hello

I recently installed xampp lite on my laptop running vista.

I get the following error when I attempt to run some php/html code:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

I'm learning PHP and this is the code that I'm running:-

<html>
<head>
<body>

<form action = index.php" method=POST>
Username:<input type=text name=user><br />
Password:<input type=password name=pass><br />
<input type=submit value="GO!"><p>
</form>

<?php
$user=$_POST['user'];
$pass=$_POST['pass'];

if(($user=="test")&&(pass=="test"))
echo "Access Granted!";
else echo "Access Denied!";

?>

</head>
</body>
</html>

I've made sure that I have full control rights to the directory, xampp, so that i should be able to read and write to it.

Can anyone help me with suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks

You don't have permission to access the requested object.

What address your browser is trying to request? (see in error.log)

Hi wiedmann

This is the error from the error log:

Any ideas?

"%22" is an additional/wrong " in your html code. (because the filename is index.php and not index.php")

Hi

The url is that i type in is http://localhost/xampp/test/index.php. I do not put %22 at the end.

The error log adds the %22 onto the end:

Any thoughts?

The url is that i type

This is the moment when you load the page (1st step).

I do not put %22 at the end.

Not you, but your html code adds this when you send the form (2nd step)

--> Verify the "action" attribute in your html form.
