I have tried completing the simple php mailer tutorial provided on this website, however since uploading the files into the same directory on my webspace. When executed I am responded with the error - “Method Not Allowed. The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /newportfolio/pages/mailer.php.”

So i dont know what I need to do next to resolve this situation… Any suggestions at all??

You can see it running here: [http://www.iancockram.co.uk/newportfolio/pages/contact.html](http://www.iancockram.co.uk/newportfolio/pages/contact.html)

What do you mean by a .htaccess file?

This is all uploaded on my 123-reg web hosting server.
