Operating System: Windows XP / 2000
PHP Version: 4.2.3
New Comment:
I have also the first of these problems.
The script below reproduces the bug.
When entering a small amount of data, the data is displayed.
With a large amount of data (e.g. a screen full of letters pasted into
the text area) the data is lost.
I am using gentoo linux, php 4.3.8 and Apache 2.0.50.
If anything is missing please let me know.
Best regards,
Christian Neise.

Hi,
Don't know if it helps but I found out that informations about the file
uploaded from a form using "multipart/form-data" like in the example
below is not in the $_POST array but in the $_FILES array
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"
action="WinnyReader.php">
<input type="file" name="fWinnyFile" size="40" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
After hitting the submit button, the second script (in my example,
"WinnyReader.php") will look for informations about the file in
$_FILES["fWinnyFile"] (and not in $_POST["fWinnyFile"] even if the
method of the form is POST!!).
That will do something like this:
if (isset($_FILES["fWinnyFile"]))
{
$arWinnyFile = $_FILES["fWinnyFile"];
echo "name : " . $arWinnyFile["name"] . "<br />\n";
echo "type : " . $arWinnyFile["type"] . "<br />\n";
echo "tmp_name : " . $arWinnyFile["tmp_name"] . "<br />\n";
echo "error : " . $arWinnyFile["error"] . "<br />\n";
echo "size : " . $arWinnyFile["size"] . "<br />\n";
$stFilename = $arWinnyFile["tmp_name"];
}
else
{
...
}
Hope this helps!

On WinXP SP1 / Apache 1.3.27 / PHP 4.2.2(module) / testing locally with
IE6 SP1
This bug has changed topic it seems, but on the original matter I have
it too - tiny effective limits with $_POST and $_FILES.
By echoing getenv(CONTENT_LENGTH) I find a limit of 488 bytes from
text-only form data (above which $_POST returns empty). Using HTTP
upload by POST the cutoff is about 2.5k for a gif file. (Limit is
higher when not using SSL but I guess that is to be expected?)
I hope this is a useful contribution to a bug that seems to be taxing a
lot of folks.

I can also reproduce this problem with PHP 4.3.2.

I am experiencing the same problem under WinXP SP1, Apache 1.3.27, PHP
4.3.1 (installed as Apache Module). In my particular case I tried
installing postnuke and got stuck an the license screen (a large
textarea) which just won't get submitted using POST. I also experience
intermittent POST failures when submitting smaller forms (like the
first install screen which only asks to select a language).
What is the parameter in httpd.conf that should be checked? I would be
glad to assist in getting rid of this as it is very annoying.
