[PHP] $_POST issues
Hello,
Can someone explain me what this piece of code basically does ?
?php
header(Expires: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s, time() + (0*60)) .
GMT);
header(Pragma: no-cache);
print REDIRECT=http://www.domaine.com/page.php?;;
$param = http_build_query($_POST);
print $param;
exit(0);
?
Well, the code is redirecting to some page with query string constructed
using the $_POST data.
My problem is not the redirection; but all I want is to get the data in
$_POST
If I just put only this piece of code:
?php
var_dump($_POST);
?
i get nothing. But the above codes is successfully redirecting me to
page.php with a properly constructed query string - which means that
$_POST was never empty. So why var_dump($_POST) is returning just
array(0) { } ???

Under normal circumstances, $_POST will only be populated from a
form with a method=post.
So, loading a URL to a PHP script containing just the var_dump() will
never output anything for $_POST as the URL wasn't the result of a
POST'd form.
You can also use cURL or stream_contexts to construct the data for
POST-ing and your script would receive these correctly.

Are you actually posting data to it?

Actually this is the response page, i.e. a payment gateway is sending
the result of a transaction to this page. Normally I expect to catch the
data sent by the payment gateway using the $_POST array, i.e. $result =
$_POST['result'], etc.
So i wanted to check the data sent by the payment gateway using
var_dump($_POST); --- this gives me array(0) { }
But if I put the other codes (lemme quote again here):
filename: response.php
?php
header(Expires: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s, time() + (0*60)) . GMT);
header(Pragma: no-cache);
print REDIRECT=http://www.domaine.com/page.php?;;
$param = http_build_query($_POST);
print $param;
exit(0);
?
It successfully redirects me to page.php + the properly constructed query string
e.g.: http://www.domain.com/page.php?var1=val1var2=val2 ... etc
That's baffling me. Why can't I catch the $_POST data in this response.php but
I get them in page.php ??
Something weird.

Re: [PHP] $_POST issues
The function http_build_query() is turning your $_POST array into a query string ($_GET), so the answer to this really depends where you're trying to dump the array. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
