#17897 [Com]: POST form variables are empty

ID: 17897 Comment by: donny@net-yan.com Reported By: hofmann@isl.org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I think the problem is PHP4. Because I installed PHP on both Apache and IIS of W2k. I got the same problem. The following are the test program (test.php). <html> <head> <title>TEST</title> </head> <body> <? print_r($_POST); print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS); ?> <form action=test.php method=post> <input type=text id=ftext value=123></input> <br><br> <input type=submit></input> </form> </body> </html> I always get empty Arrays. I never imagine that such simple function have bugs in PHP, or I know to little about the PHP settings! Who can HELP!!! My system cannot progress!!!

If '/' is not added, then a redirection is done to the / address..and of course the post data is lost. Using that kind of urls in "action" field is not very wise.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
