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

ID: 17958 Updated by: sesser@php.net 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: Is it possible for you to do something like tcpdump -w postlog -s 8192 -p tcp to let me see if the post block is somehow broken? If yes send the file directly to my address.

Maybe the person who could not reproduce this was not running on linux? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 14:32:15] thomas@gelf.it 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
