Re: Does HTACCESS block $_POST ?

Hello. Ive got an odd problem with my php (seems a recent issue)... Heres my htaccess: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ vyb6a.php [QSA,L] for the last few days, i'm no longer receiving ANY $_POST values... ive even got $r=print_r($_POST,true); echo $r; at the beginning of my script before anything else & nothing comes through. so i do think is an htaccess issue. Does anyone have an idea how to solve ? (im using clean URLs) Ps the script works fine - apart from receiving $_POST values

Hi, I think my code has posted variables through rewrites all the time. I've never considered that it wouldn't work. I went through a troubleshooting process in my mind (a dark and dangerous place) and came up with this. As  a test, you might take out the htaccess and post to the page directly (unclean URLs) and see if the POST variables come through. Is the posted data present in $_REQUEST? Does your php.ini or other source of settings have enable_post_data_reading set on?  I didn't even know that this setting existed until I went searching this morning. Is your php_max_size variable set in such a way to interfere with the posted variables? Perhaps you should try another script with just the first line (the print_r) statement and see if you can post to that, with and without a rewrite. Does your page contain a class? If so, is your print_r accidentally inside the class? (I got this from a 12 year old stack overflow post) Let us know how your troubleshooting is going. Hopefully some others will chime in.
