You don't have permission to access...

I've just installed WAMP and I've been doing some tutorials as I'm trying to learn PHP and MySQL, but I've run across a problem. Here is my code:

Quote

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

<?php
//check if form has been submitted
if (!$_POST['submit'])
{
//if not, display form
?>

Select from the items below: <br />
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="POST">
<select name="options[]" multiple>
<option value="power steering">Power steering</option>
<option value="rear wiper">Rear windshield wiper</option>
<option value="cd changer">6 CD Changer</option>
<option value="fog lamps">Fog lamps</option>
<option value="central locking">Central locking</option>
<option value="onboard navigation">Computer-based navigation</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Select">
</form>

<?php
}
else
{
// form has been submitted
//check if any items were selected
//if so, display them
if (is_array($_POST['options']))
{
echo 'Here is your selection: <br />';
// use a foreach() loop to read and display array elements
foreach($_POST['options'] as $o)
{
echo "<i>$o</i><br />";
}
}
else
{
echo 'Nothing selected';
}
}
?>

</body>
</html>

The page that has the form works fine, but whenever I try to submit I get a message saying

Quote

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /php_tutorials/< on this server.

What exactly is wrong with what I'm trying to do? I notice that everytime I use <?=$_Server['PHP_SELF']?> I get an error message after trying to submit. Thanks.

If short_open_tag is not enable in php.ini, you have to use full tag <?php $_Server['PHP_SELF'] ?>

Thanks. I didn't realize it was that simple.
