Can you also show us the HTML for your form on the previous
page? The simplest test case that produces this problem
would be best.

Re: [PHP] $_POST vars problem

2003-01-20 Thread Kenneth Brill
I will try to shortly.  The server in question is password protected and has
lot of information I don;t need hacked into right now.  I'll set up a
limited short term account and post everything then.

On another note, I have found that if I include (and use) the submit button
everything works perfectly, HOWEVER if I just enter data and hit return then
it messes up.  That make no sence to me but maybe someone out there can put
it together.

thanks

So you do not have access to the server that has the code
you are trying to debug? That seems like a bigger problem.

If you can at least test this with a browser, you can use
it to view the source. This will reveal the HTML, and you
can just show us the relevant parts.

Of course, if we notice the problem, it sounds like it is
useless anyway, since you cannot access the server to fix
anything. Unless I am missing something...

 I just changed my server to SSL, everything worked before 
 that.  now if I
 have a form with an input box (named searchstring for 
 example) with a
 value of TEST, when that form is posted (submitted) I get 
 the following:
 
 foreach($_POST as $key = $value) {
  echo [POST]Key: '$key'; Value: '$value'br\n;
 }
 
 will print:
 Key:'searchstring' ; Value: 'TESTsearchstring=TEST'

If you're using Apache 2, I suggeest you browse on over to this bug report:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18648.  (Well, maybe you want to go take a
look there anyway, as it's definitely concerning this very behaviour.)

Cheers!

Mike

  the submit button
  everything works perfectly, HOWEVER if I just enter data and
  hit return then it messes up.

You could try including a hidden submit field like this:

  input type=hidden name=submit value=1

For name=submit change that to whatever name your normal submit button
has and you'll find that a submit is set even if you hit return instead
of clicking on the submit button.

It may or may not resolve the issues you're seeing but it can help
general form processing anyway.

CYA, Dave
