Didn't see any changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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".

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
