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?
Absolutely -- this is the Command-Line Interface. As this is intended for
command-line scripting, it has no notion of being used in a Web context and
does not even attempt to fill the $_POST or $_GET (or most of the other $_)
arrays. You need to use either the CGI SAPI, or the Apache module.
Cheers!

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.

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)

Very puzzling.

Re: [PHP-DB] $_POST And $_REQUEST
$_REQUEST is an associative array consisting of the contents of $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES Also, they are not function but arrays, as Hatem said. You can usa $_REQUEST as a catch-all that provides you with both what was passed to your page through the URL query ($_GET) and what was posted to the webserver through HTTP ($_POST). IMHO, it's always better to use the more specific arrays ($_GET or $_POST), because that makes your pages more accurate and, therefore, less open to possible attacks. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
