I have a script that is passing a area in a $_POST and it does not pass

the data. When I try to look at the data with $_POST['fieldorder'] it its empty but when I look at it with $_REQUEST['fieldorder'] the data is there. This seams very strange to me. It has been working for about 6 months with no problem and then all of a sudden it does not pass the data anymore. The real funny thing is the rest of the data that is sent that is not an area gets past in a $_POST works just fine.Would there be something in the php.ini file that I have changed that would case this.

What method is your form using? Cheers, tedd

And what is an area? A textarea? This is the form that is being sent as a post and the fieldorder[] is the part that is not sending properly. But it has worked for about a year in the script. It just stopped working. and I did not change anything in this script <form action="import.php" method="post"> <!-- <form action="testimport.php" method="post"> --> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=members_id VALUE=<?php echo $_SESSION["members_id"];?>> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=copy VALUE='<?php echo $_POST['copy'];?>'> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=format VALUE=<?php echo $_POST['format'];?>>
