Bug #17958 Updated: <input type=file> loses $_POST vars

ID: 17958 Updated by: thomas@gelf.it Reported By: ddp@deakin.edu.au Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Using php 4.1.2 on apache 1.3.23 (Default Redhat 7.3 - installed today) I have the same problem: if using enctype="multipart/form-data" in a <form>-tag (with or without any <input type="file">), $HTTP_POST_VARS and $_POST will be empty arrays. The same script works perfectly with php 4.0.6 on apache 1.3.19. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 04:41:52] ddp@deakin.edu.au browser = mozilla 1.0 -- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020601 (linux 2.4.18 if it matters) I also tried internet explorer version 6.0.2600.000 on win2k and had the same problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 04:25:23] sesser@php.net What Browser(incl. version) are you using? I was unable to reproduce this with Apache 2.0.39 and PHP 4.2.1 and IE 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 01:15:34] ddp@deakin.edu.au Testing this with the form method changed to GET appears to work. Thus the issue is further narrowed down to php4 interacting with apache2.0.39 and _POST .. BTW we downloaded the cvs version of apache2 and php to see if the problem was resolved there but it is the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-09 22:27:28] ddp@deakin.edu.au I have just been reading over the php bugs newsgroup and there seems to be some attempt to connect this bug with #17897. This bug is not related to having a / or not at the end of the action line (as can be seen by the example listed below). This problem is the only one stopping us from moving to apache2. I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this bug. I am quite willing to debug/test, etc. as required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-25 21:51:20] ddp@deakin.edu.au Sorry, yes the output with the <input type="file"> line in the html is: print_r( Array ) :Array ( [VAR1] => 1 ) Without the above line, VAR1 and VAR2 are displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
