#27389 [Opn]: $_POST variables not accessible from multiview

ID: 27389 User updated by: vanlei at yahoo dot com Reported By: vanlei at yahoo dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I traced the problem a little better. I wasn't coming in through the overriden php file, but through ErrorDocument. Now I'm not sure if it is a bug or not, but ErrorDocument doesn't see POST. In any case I solved it in a more elegant way, but I'll leave this here for comment. Should ErrorDocument receive POST requests?

As far as I understand it, Multiviews are used for automatic language selection and aren't involved in your problem. I've run some tests with http://my-server/script.php/morestuff/ using GET and POST requests. Linux, Apache 2, PHP 4.3.4 module: works Windows, Apache 2, PHP 4.3.4 module: works Windows, Apache 2, PHP 4.3.4 CGI: doesn't work (maybe misconfiguration) And it works even with MultiViews disabled. Although I haven't tested Apache 1, I don't think there is a PHP problem. Try if a normal GET request works on such URLs, and if it doesn't, it might be a problem with your apache configuration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-25 21:31:44] vanlei at yahoo dot com Apache: Server version: Apache/1.3.29 (Darwin) httpd.conf: Inside the config for the site, you need to add: <Directory "/site/to/www"> Options MultiViews </Directory> PHP is configured as an apache mod.

Please re-read the instructions at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for your interest in PHP. Apache version, how to configure httpd.conf, how PHP is configured (module/cgi), etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-24 23:55:29] vanlei at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ $_POST variables aren't accessible from within a multiview if one configures the action of a form to be the child of a multiview. In other words, If I set the action of a form to be 'example.com/multi/sub' where multi is a PHP file called multi.php that catches the url 'example.com/ multi/sub/' (by using apache's multiviews), multi.php will not have access to the $_POST variable. It works if one sets the action as 'example.com/multi/ '. Reproduce code: --------------- Example code: <form method="post" action="http://example.com/multi/sub/" name="form"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Value" /> </form> multi.php: echo $_POST['submit'] Expected result: ---------------- Expected: $_POST['submit'] == "Value" Actual result: -------------- Blank. I think PHP associates the $_POST variable with /multi/sub when sub isn't a script/file. Instead the request is handled by multi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27389&edit=1
