#32601 [Fbk->Opn]: Related to Bug #18648 Single entry form POST gives incorrect variable content.

ID: 32601 User updated by: sarah dot lee at seh dot ox dot ac dot uk Reported By: sarah dot lee at seh dot ox dot ac dot uk -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: The result is: array(1) { ["ptitle"]=> string(4) "text" } I found a work-around last night, using "if ($_POST) { .. }" rather than "if ($submit) { .. }", but it still doesn't explain why $submit is not recognised. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-06 13:51:12] sniper@php.net What does this output when you press simply enter: test.php: <form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <input type="text" size="30" maxsize="50" name="ptitle" value=""> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php var_dump($_POST); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-06 01:58:06] sarah dot lee at seh dot ox dot ac dot uk Description: ------------ This is related to Bug #18648 Single entry form POST gives incorrect variable content. My problems seem to be similar to that of other users on that thread, a form with a single text box doesn't really submit if the enter button is pressed. I'm using Apache 1.3 on Windows. In my httpd.conf, I don't have any InputFilters/OutputFilters, just AddType application/x-httpd-php .php I've tried the other fixes suggested: <form ... enctype="multipart/form-data"> doesn't fix it, and nor does <input type=hidden name=spoof>. I seem to be the only one mentioning it with Apache 1.3. Is there anything that can be done to solve it? Reproduce code: --------------- In an include: <form method="POST" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>?pid=<? echo $pid ?>"> <input type="text" size="30" maxsize="50" name="ptitle" value=""> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> In the PHP script: if ($submit) { ... } Expected result: ---------------- I expect the data to be carried to the PHP script, as it would if the submit button were actually clicked. Actual result: -------------- The page just gets refreshed with the data before any text was entered into the text box, and enter pressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32601&edit=1
