RE: [PHP-DB] _POST, _GET, _REQUEST not working
Hi Mike,
You are a sharp one but alas that is not my real code. The real code for
displaying var1 and var2 is:
echo pvariable 1 : $var1 /p br ;
echo pvariable 2 : $var2 /p br ;
I have tried so many things to get this working, I am starting to think it
is a CGI problem.

Hello,
I am running PHP 4.39 as a CGI under Tomcat 5.025, Linux 2.4.20-31.9.
Configure = './configure' '--with-java=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04'
'--with-servlet=/home/www/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25' '--with-mysql'
I cannot get the _GET function or _REQUEST functions to pick
up values from
a form generating even though I can see the query string
values in the URL
as in:
http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php?var1=212122var2=343434
My HTML is very simple:
form action=http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php; method=get
input type=text name=var1
input type=text name=var2
input type=submit
/form
The PHP program httptest.php is also very simple:
?PHP
global $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE;
if(!empty($_REQUEST['var1'])) { $var1 = $_REQUEST['var1']; }
else { $var1 ='undefined'; }
if(!empty($_GET['var2'])) { $var2 = $_GET['var2']; }
else $var2 ='undefined';
// Various HMTL tags removed for simplicity
echo $var1
echo $var1
Is this a direct paste from your original? If so, there's an obvious error
here -- one of those should be $var2,'cos as it is you're never even echoing
the value of the $_GET parameter.
Cheers!
Mike

Thanks for your response Jochem.
cheers.
I realize this is not a DB specific question but this exercise is to get
my
mysql routines working.
I did remove the declaration global $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST,
$_SESSION, $_COOKIE but still do not get values.
bummer. I have a sneaking suspicion that your problem might be related
to the fact that you are running the cgi version of php.
Funny thing, $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] returns the query string
one interim solution could be to write a function that fills the $_GET
and $_POST vars - getting an array from a string like
var1=334343var2=343434 is fairly trivial how does the following work
for you?
parse_str( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET );
print_r($_GET);
obviously this leaves you nowhere with POST COOKIE values.
var1=334343var2=343434 but $_GET['var1'] or $_REQUEST['var1'] are
empty.
which of the superglobals are actually defined at all?
phpinfo() shows
SERVER[argv] = Array
what does:
print_r( $GLOBALS );
print_r( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
print_r( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
...show you? (you might want to wrap the output in PRE tags for legibility)
(
[0] =
/home/www/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/webapps/ip7/WEB-INF/cgi/httptest.php
probably a stupid question but: do you actually need tomcat? why not try
a vanilla setup to begin with?
have you read this page:
http://nl.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.varia
bles.superglobals
if not why not? (read the manual from back to front, it save you lots of
time in the long run)
[1] = var2=343434
[2] = var1=334343
)
Very puzzling.
Anyone else?

all the vars listed above are super globals you don't have to declare
them as global - they are everywhere! this may also be the cause of the
problem, what happens when you remove this line?
also have you tried var_dump() or print_r() on the $_GET/$_POST/etc
arrays?
ps - not a very DB related question is it?
if(!empty($_REQUEST['var1'])) { $var1 = $_REQUEST['var1']; }
else { $var1 ='undefined'; }
if(!empty($_GET['var2'])) { $var2 = $_GET['var2']; }
else $var2 ='undefined';
// Various HMTL tags removed for simplicity
echo $var1
echo $var1
?
I have tried everything I can think of including using HTML POST instead
of
GET, setting register_globals = On/Off.
leaving this off is recommended.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks but this would be impractical for the real application. I need to
gather
customer data and write it to the database. I would likely use POST. I
couldn't
get POST to work either but am using _GET right now since I can at least
see the query string value.
ok - I assume then that POST values don't appear in argv as GET values
do? if they do then the proposition stands.
I did try
if (empty($_GET)) { parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$_GET); }
which worked so I guess I should be able to come up with an equivalent for
_POST using argv, argc.
I am guessing but I also think the problem is to do with the fact that
the CGI sapi is being used.
I am using the CLI SAPI, I checked using php_sapi_name(). Is this causing
the problem?
Cheers
