#22666 [Com]: POST only passing a limited number of form variables

ID: 22666 Comment by: xeenych at gmail dot com Reported By: lbravo at nc dot rr dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: WIndows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I also encountered this bug Os: Windows XP SP2 PHP: 5.2.4-win32 The problem is the following. I create a stream context with some (>2) form variables and issue a POST request to a redirecting page on a remote webserver using fopen() or file_get_contents() Using packet sniffer i discovered, that remote webserver responds HTTP 1.1 302 found and sends location = someotherpage.php Then, file_get_contents() follows redirect and sends another POST request for the page someotherpage.php, but this request appears to be trashed with some form variables from the very first request. In best case, when there are 2 or may be 3 form variables, remote server sends error 411 - "length required" In worst, it sends Bad request.

The same problem occurs if using arrays in the context of form variables. Only a certain number are passed, generally those that appear first before the submit are passed, the exact number seems to vary some what. I have created simple php scripts and tested with the same results. I am not sure if the actual naming makes a difference or not, the results seem to vary depending on how you try to set up the test. I am very puzzled, with this behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22666&edit=1
