#27221 [Fbk->Opn]: $_POST superglobal variable not populated after posting a form

ID: 27221 User updated by: patrick at studioemma dot be Reported By: patrick at studioemma dot be -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I will wait for the definite release. I can however allready add these comments: - only occurs on SSL - occurs when some fields (no reserved words as names) have spaces, numeric values, and perhaps others. In the meantime I moved to just HTTP instead of HTTPS Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 15:02:01] sniper@php.net Just try the snapshot first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 14:51:49] patrick at studioemma dot be my httpd.conf only mentions: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps However I have found a key to the origin: apparently the values I enter in the form influence the problem. I have been able to reproduce but cannot figure out any logic. I have to mention I'm only using a-zA-Z and - signs.. it's like black magic... I have not yet installed the snapshot, will definitely await final release. I have to mention as well that I just upgraded to 4.3.4 from 4.3.2 where the problem occured as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 14:04:52] moriyoshi@php.net Obviously you are not using Apache2, so Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE- latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 14:01:56] moriyoshi@php.net See bug #18648 and check your httpd.conf ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 13:54:19] patrick at studioemma dot be Description: ------------ After posting (method POST) a form (of any kind) the $_POST variable does not get populated. This error is hard to reproduce as it occurs sporadicily but sometimes more than once on the same form. Apparently with under the same conditions it sometimes works and sometimes not. I experience the problem (I believe) only using SSL. I'm using rewrite rules, but the same as on other sites without SSL. I read stuff about mentioning the action property in the form tag, about GPC order, etc... but nothing I've tried can reduce the error to it's origin. I do not know however how to check apache for incoming POSTed data.

I have not found any relevant info on the web. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27221&edit=1
