Re: [PHP] Can't read $_POST array
$response = print_r($_REQUEST, true); echo $response; I'm sorry I don't have any input on your actual question but tohuhgt I'd mention that this can be shortened to: print_r($_REQUEST); ... if I'm not mistaken.

Re: [PHP] Can't read $_POST array
Sorry, my typo, $_POST is one of the options we tried, not $POST. It returns an empty array also.

Re: [PHP] Can't read $_POST array
Does $_SERVER['HTTP_METHOD'] show a GET or POST?

Re: [PHP] Can't read $_POST array
This was the complete code of the page (this is the POST version not the
REQUEST version):
?php
$response = print_r($_POST, true);
echo $response;
?
Returns an empty array no matter what POST vars are sent. We fixed it by
changing it to this, which I've never even heard of, but so far is working
perfectly:
?php
$response = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo $response;
?
I have no idea what the problem was. Thanks to everyone for your help.

You've got something jacked. DO NOT proceed with your coding using this
hack.
Put this in a blank file named whatever_you_want.php and hit it with your
web browser.

Does what your posting contain any content like '' '' my guess is
that you need to access the content using the filter_ functions.
