    I just wan to write a simple programme which refresh the current page.But I get the following error message-

    "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
    localhost
    10/17/07 19:38:49
    Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8e mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.3 "

    I wrote the code using DreamWeaver Web Editor.My code is as follows-

    php:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>REFRESHING Page</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    </head>

    <body>

    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] ?>" method="POST">

    <p> <strong>Type ur guess here</strong> <input type="text" name="guess"> </p>
    <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit ur guess"> </p>

    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    try chmoding the file, but for your form action, you need to fix it a bit
    <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">

    CHMOD(change mode), set permissions, you can do that with an FTP or through your cpanel

    I often get the problem if I download a script, unzip it and upload it to the server. Annoying, but if you change the permissions so every user can read the file, everything should be ok.

    I believe you can go to FTP mode in Dreamweaver, right click on a file, and change it's permissions. you can do the same with folders.
