One of our developers has brought an interesting problem to my attention.
I'll start off by describing our environment. We are running a Solaris 10
server with Apache 2.2.6. PHP version 5.2.5 is loaded as a module and
appears to be working fine. However, our developer ran into a problem
using dokuwiki. When he submits a form with a <html> tag in it, he
receives a 400 error. He threw together this little script to verify the
problem:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo sprintf("%s", $_POST['wikitext']);
?>
<br />
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"
accept-charset="utf-8">
<textarea name="wikitext" style="height: 300px;" cols="80"
rows="10"></textarea>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This can be viewed here: http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/php/PostTest.php
As you can see, the script does nothing more than take what is submitted
and display it on the screen. However, if you type in <html> then click
on the Submit Query button, you will get a 400 error.
Does anyone know why this is occurring? Am I looking at some php.ini
parameter change to fix this?
