ID: 17958 Comment by: ichwilleineemailadresse@gmx.net Reported By: ddp@deakin.edu.au Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Reproduced with snapshot of 2002-09-28. Didn't see any changes. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 04:31:07] harry@ilo.de Tried snapshot from 2002-09-26. The Bug still appears, all post vars get lost. In addition sometimes only some of the vars get lost. file_uploads is set to "On". System: WinXP Pro Webserver: Apache/1.3.23 (Win32) PHP/4.3.0-dev mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a mod_ssl/2.8.6 OpenSSL/0.9.6c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-23 15:12:59] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip When trying to replicate this bug please make sure your file_uploads php.ini value is set to On. In some versions of PHP, POST vars would get lost on multipart forms when this option has a blank or Off value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-19 00:54:26] nando@aboutown.ca I am experiencing the same POST problem. I thought it might have been an HTMLENTITIES problem (which I posted an error) but after reading these bug reports, I get the same thing. I spent 3+ days programming around this. Very frustrating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-18 20:10:54] adeshner@pisem.net Mozilla 1.1a is OK either; it seems to be an IE6.0 bug (maybe, a specially coded feature?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-18 13:53:45] jmax01@hotmail.com Retraction: I had two errors in my header after fixing these errors I can access $_POST varibles in both 4.0.6 and 4.2.3. It appears that some multipart/form-data parsers are more forgiving than others :) POST /cgi-bin/XXXXXXX HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXX Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=XXXssxvnjhpdqdxvcrastvybcwvmgnykrXXX User-Agent: Java1.4.0 Host: XXX.XXX.XXX.X:XXX Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2 Connection: keep-alive Content-length: 142 --XXXssxvnjhpdqdxvcrastvybcwvmgnykrXXX Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fieldName" fieldValue --XXXssxvnjhpdqdxvcrastvybcwvmgnykrXXX-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
