WampServer

I cant access the server.
I made a script a web form method post and a action input.

I created a special php form in the same directory.

I get the message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /Begin/OefWebForm/¨[localhost]¨ on this server.
Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80

As far as i know i have apache running. I used phpinfo and get a list of services working.

Which errors are meant when I get the forbidden message above?

Please can you answer these questions about your setup, thanks

also now the html webform script is kinda strange. If I create a submit button with input

<input = ´submit´ value=´zenden´>

it places a strange A (scandinavian A) in the browser and I cant click it.

I removed the quotation marks, html script seems ok now, I never knew there is so much difference between the different releases. Why is that?

Thats now the fault of WAMPServer thats you using a backtick instead of a simple quote and the syntax for an input is also wrong.


Try

<input type="submit" value="zenden">

the html script is now ok. I changed some settings. But I'm still having problems, also in this (or other) php scripts with the ' or " both does not seem to work.

this:

<?php
echo ¨hello world¨;
?>

does not work but

<?php
echo ´hello world´;
?>

also does not work.

OK, now I discovered the same script does work if I use the ordinairy windows notepad to compose.

I downloaded Geany yesterday, it seems the problem is because of this editor.

Could it be the settings should be adjusted in advance?

I dont know anything about Geany, is it recommended a lot or are there better php editors?

I have never heard of it.
But I just had a look and it looks a bit hinky to run on a windows system

Try Notepad++, its free and very good.
