#27221 [Com]: $_POST superglobal variable not populated after posting a form

ID: 27221 Comment by: steve dot carrico at louisville dot edu Reported By: patrick at studioemma dot be Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I don't beleive this is a PHP bug. We started receiving similar problem reports at the university I work for after the latest Internet Explorer security update was released. I came across the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article yesterday and the software update linked under the "Resolution" section appears to fix the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;831167 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-12 10:02:39] sniper@php.net Can not reproduce using latest CVS (or even with 4.3.4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-12 05:10:24] patrick at studioemma dot be 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
