[PHP] POST form variables not being sent to destination page

[Howard Roscoe]

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.

Thanks,
Howard

Hi there,

I don't really see any "serious" problem in your code except that your 
opening body tag is in the wrong place :).

Since I don't have php/apache running on my XP I cannot really tell if this 
is an installation problem. Anyway, I have php/apache (4.2.2/1.3.26) on 
Linux  and (4.2.2/2.0.40) on Windows 2000 Pro. Your code works whether it's 
GET or POST.

So, one thing that you might want to try is to install the latest version 
of PHP. Esp., as the php.net site says that the latest version (4.2.3) is 
"recommended update for all users of PHP, and Windows users in particular 
".

Also, you may want to check previous posts regarding 4.2.2/2.0.40 
combination--doesn't look so stable on XP(?)...
