#37369 [NEW]: HTML Form Submit Problem

From: alexm at emarket2 dot com Operating system: Win 2003 PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: HTML Form Submit Problem Description: ------------ We are submitting form from HTML email message to PHP page and printing $_POST array. We are getting blank $_POST array in 50% of cases on PHP 5.0.5 installation and about 10-15% ratio for PHP 5.1.4. The problem is happening randomly, sometimes on first submit. The problem only happening on WIN 2003 Server(SP1)and IIS6 platform. We have tried the same PHP installation on WIN XP Pro (IIS5) and it works reliably. We are running PHP as ISAPI module. Also, if form is submitted from Web Browser, the problem is not happening. We can see form data in HTTP Request submitted from email message, but it is not appear on PHP page.
