Bug #9357 Updated: PHP won't use the method "post"

ID: 9357 Updated by: cardinal Reported By: webmaster@scoutprovidence.com Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: This script should be generating a parse error. <?php_track_vars isn't a valid opening tag, that should've generated a parse error. Try something simple without any Javascript in it: <form method="post" action="<?= $PHP_SELF ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="variable" value="Post test"> <input type="submit"> </form> <br><br>Posted variables: <pre><? print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS) ?></pre> If that doesn't work, reopen or ask one of the support mailing lists for assistance http://www.php.net/support.php Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-20 16:15:25] webmaster@scoutprovidence.com The following script is supposed to send a simple feedback form, and send it directly to my mail server, however when I submit a test form, it will say "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /feedback.php.", when I did exactly what the instruction book (Que) told me to do. <html> <?php_track_vars $to = $HTTP_POST_VARS["to"]; $head = $HTTP_POST_VARS["eMail"]; $subj = $HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"]; $body1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]; $body2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["type"]; $body3 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["comments"]; mail($to, $subj, $body1 . $body2 . $body3, $header); ?> <head> <title>Sending...</title> <script type="javascript"> parent.location="http://www.scoutprovidence.com/thanks.shtml" </head> <body> <font size=3 face=verdana><b>Please wait while your information is being sent...</b></font> </body> </html> As you can see I tried using the <?php_track_vars thing, which still won't work, and I've tried various variations of that tag. What is wrong? Unfortunately I don't have the php.ini file, because the server is third-party (DotEasy). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
