#18961 [NEW]: POST size more than 6k fails

From: tater@potatoe.com Operating system: Mac OS X 10.1.5 / Darwin 5.5 PHP version: 4CVS-2002-08-17 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: POST size more than 6k fails Submitting POST variables with a total size of more than about 6000 bytes results in some kind of overflow. This is on Apache, compiled as a static module, with 4.3 CVS. (ZE and ZE2 behave the same.) Part of the POST is read by the PHP script, the rest seems to go to Apache as if it was a request - it shows up in the access log or error log as such anyway. This problem does NOT happen with the php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-alpha2 release. Here is a form to demonstrate: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <?php $x = str_pad('', 6000, 'x'); ?> <input type=hidden name=x value="<?php echo $x; ?>"> <input type=submit> </form> <form method="post"> <?php $x = str_pad('', 6000, 'x'); ?> <input type=hidden name=x value="<?php echo $x; ?>"> <input type=submit> </form> <?php foreach ($_POST as $k => $v) { echo "<li>_POST($k) length = ".strlen($v)."\n"; } ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18961&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18961&r=globals
