[PHP] POST form variables not being sent to destination page
Hi all, I'm assuming this is an installation error, hence the posting to this group. I've got an html form but when I use the POST method the form variables don't make it to the destination page, when I use the GET method, there's no problem. I've uploaded the test pages to our web servers and the POST and GET methods both work fine, therefore I'm assuming it's a problem with my installation, which is; PHP 4.2.2 Apache 2.0.40 on Windows XP Pro with as many MS patches as I can find !!. I've tried this with and without the register_globals, I've also tried setting the always_populate_raw_post_data to on by way of a stab in the dark. The only thing I can think of is something to do with the Apache configuration, but I can't find anythnin in there re this. The test PHP is; Form Page: html head titleUntitled Document/title meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 /head form action=b.php method=post name=bb input name=aa type=text value=12 size=10br input name=a1 type=submit /form body /body /html Target Page: html head titleUntitled Document/title meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 /head ?php echo POSTED :.$_POST[aa].br; echo GET :.$_GET[aa].br; ? body /body /html Any help / pointers will be much appreciated as this is starting to drive me nuts.

[PHP] Re: POST form variables not being sent to destination page
Hi Erwin, Thanks for the reply but it turned out to be a slightly odd installation bug. On the PHP Bug board, I managed to find that it was to do with the Apache configuration settings, namely, you should put AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 instead of; FilesMatch \.php$ SetOutputFilter PHP /FilesMatch in the httpd.conf file. This took ages to find and was only posted within that last few days on the PHP bug board, hope it helps you with your elusive first POST variable. Thanks for you help though, Regards Howard Erwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
