Re: PHP form POST question

When you access /foo, the server will redirect the client to /foo/ (because it is a directory). At the redirected page, the post data will not be sent again by the browser thus there are no _POST values. Try using action="/foo/". That may work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James (IFMS)" <jamesk@ifm-services.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 10:04 AM Subject: [PHP] PHP form POST question

I just narrowed something down about forms and POST and would like education. In the following scenarios, all work except #4. $_POST is null. Why is that? Setup: 1) Running on localhost 2) /foo/index.php has the following: <? var_dump($_POST); var_dump($_GET); ?> 3) /index.php contends vary per scenario (below) Running RHEL 3, all updates (PHP 4.3.2). SCENARIO 1: /index.php contains the following: <form method="get" action="/foo/index.php"> <input name="foobutton" type="submit"> </form> In this case in /foo/index.php $_GET has the right value, i.e. array('foobutton' => ''); SCENARIO 2: /index.php contains the following: <form method="get" action="/foo"> <input name="foobutton" type="submit"> </form> In this case in /foo/index.php $_GET has the right value, i.e. array('foobutton' => ''); SCENARIO 3: /index.php contains the following: <form method="post" action="/foo/index.php"> <input name="foobutton" type="submit"> </form> In this case in /foo/index.php $_POST has the right value, i.e. array('foobutton' => ''); SCENARIO 4: /index.php contains the following: <form method="post" action="/foo"> <input name="foobutton" type="submit"> </form> In this case in /foo/index.php $_POST is NULL. HUH? Why is $_POST empty? Is Apache doing something to kill the form's post information when it has to resolve /foo to /foo/index.php? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
