Bug #17645: problem in variables using between html and php

From: ritaceresi@tiscalinet.it Operating system: AIX 4.3.3 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: problem in variables using between html and php We have installed an apache 1.3.19 recompiled with the activation of php 4.2.1 module on AIX 4.3.3. The php mainly works because if we have a php file it is correctly interpreted. The problem arises when we try to capture a variable value from a html form and we try to use the value of that variable: it seems that the value is lost. We run the same example to Linux platform instead of AIX and it works fine! Here the simple test we perform: ======================= File test.html <html> <body> prova <form name="test" method="post" action="risposta.php"> <input type="text" name="campo" size=15 maxlength=8> <input type="submit" name="invia"> </form> </body> </html> File risposta.php <?PHP echo "E' stato inviato:<br>"; echo "--->" . $campo . "<---<br>"; ?> The result was: The result is : E' stato inviato: ---><--- Any idea??
