PHP file upload Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed

Working closely with this W3 Schools's guide, I'm trying to upload an image via a <form> on an .aspx page to a "server", using PHP. The "server" is actually my localhost. The form is being submitted but then I get the 405 error. I checked the response headers and I can see:

Allow:GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE

If this is really the issue, how do I change this?

NOTE: My PHP code and HTML content are an exact copy of the example in the link provided.

Your localhost server doesn't allow HTTP Method `POST` which is used to upload files. – Charlotte Dunois Sep 09 '15 at 20:27
@CharlotteDunois Question was and is - how do I change this? – OzW Sep 09 '15 at 20:29
The question is, what is your webserver? Apache, Nginx, Lighthttp (or whatever it's called) or something else? – Charlotte Dunois Sep 09 '15 at 20:30
@CharlotteDunois I don't really have a server... This is just an exercise project hosted locally on my computer. – OzW Sep 09 '15 at 20:32
Your computer is running a webserver software. So what did you install to achieve that? – Charlotte Dunois Sep 09 '15 at 20:33
The only things I'm using are Visual Studio 2015 and Google Chrome. – OzW Sep 09 '15 at 20:37
If you don't have a webserver software installed, you can't run PHP. That's probably why you're not allowed to use `PHP` because the software who catches the connection can't handle it (the heat). – Charlotte Dunois Sep 09 '15 at 20:38

The issue is an IIS configuration problem. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4287330/iis-7-5-web-service-and-http-405-error – Jonathan Kuhn Sep 09 '15 at 20:43
