Sorry, I should also mention you will have to restart your IIS server. From a command prompt,
(on the server) issue the command:


net stop iisadmin

(type Y - if you have the publisher service active)

net start w3svc

Or reboot it, if you like :)

In your php.ini (c:\windows\php.ini for 9x, xp, c:\winnt\ for NT4, 2000 => around line 365)
make sure Register Globals = Off.


Register globals does just that, creates global variables from any data posted to from a form.
As you've noticed it's not the most secure thing, to have these variables accessible to all your
scripts.

Hello,

Has anybody experienced such problem? Let's have script "a.php" with form


<form name="myform" action="a.php" method="POST"> <input name="field" ...> .... </form>


Script "a.php" receives POST data and process them, then executes redirect:

header("Location: b.php");

And then on most configurations (like Apache+PHP, no matter on windows
or unix) script "b.php" has no idea about data from form "myform". But I've
found that "my" server, wich is IIS, sends somehow POST data to
"b.php"!!! More, if we "b.php"="a.php" we have a loop! Cause "a.php"
checks if there is something in POST and then redirects to itself.


*********** a.php BEGIN *********
<?php
if ($_POST["field"]) {
  (do something)
  ...
  header("Location: a.php");
}
?>
<form action="a.php" method="POST">
<input name="field" ...>
....
</form>

************ END ****************

How to get lost of POST data? Is it a bug in IIS, php or something
else?

Thanks in advance!


my configuration:


PHP Version 4.3.2

System  Windows NT WEB 5.0 build 2195  Server API  CGI/FastCGI
SERVER_SOFTWARE  Microsoft-IIS/5.0
