It has worked before but that was before I got the

Any ideas or solutions are very much appreciated.

I see no reason for this.
if you are using $_server then use $_SERVER['key'];

Thats is exactly how I'm doing. Still the browser will
through
me
away
and
denies to show the page, just saying HTTP 403.

Care to share some of the code?

This is the simple test code that causes the HTTP403
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username">
<br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign Up">

OK, now when you say "I use a php script", when aer you
considering
it
to be used?
Do you get the form displayed but get the error when you press
"Sign
Up" or do you not get the form displayed at all?

When ran I get the page and give ensers to the two inputs.
The browser reacts with HTTP 403 when I press the submit-button

OK, so what you said first was incorrect. You are using the script
to
produce the form. So it is not the act of accessing $_SERVER per se
that is causing the 403. You are getting the 403 when you try to
submit the form to the "address" that is output by the original php
call.

To be honest, you don't really need that call for what you are
doing.
By default the form will submit to the same address that is in the
address bar, so try coding the form as

<form action="" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username">
<br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign Up">

and see what happens.

Thanks. I think I see what you mean but can I still use the keyed
username
and password as variables and go furhter to for instance a database
with
them. I admit I am a newbie but if you don't ask you don't get any
answers.

What is happening with the way that you have coded your script (if
you've done it correctly) is that the first time it gets executed, it
will display the form. Then when you click "Sign Up" the same script
is executed again, but this time it detects that it has been run due
to a valid form submission and the does whatever other processing you
have asked it to do.

An empty "action" parm just does the submission back to the current
URL, the same as the php_self should have done.

Did the submit work OK using my suggestion?

Thanks. Your suggested code worked as expected and accepted the inouts an
took care of them.
Just the follow question as above - can I in your script use the input
names
as variables for further actions?
/Lennart- Hide quoted text -

I don't understand the question. I didn't supply any script.
Please re-phrase it?

OK Script could be the wrong word. You suggested an other code that could
do, and did, the same task but in an other way and then my follow question
was if I, if using your code, can use the given inputs, username and
password, as variables for further actions?
Sorry if I was not clear enough

I just copied your exact HTML and simply removed the php part.
Anything you could do with it as it was, you can still do with it as I
haven't changed it at all.
I am not sure what you mean by using the inputs as variables. You will
have to be more precise in explaining what you mean?
