RE: [PHP] HTTP_POST_VARS truncated

Thanks Jason & Jani!Both ur ways work! $loc = "..\files\poese.txt" $loc = "..\\files\\poese.txt" But another question that comes to mind is that why must i include the '..\' to move down to a sub-directory? I thought '..\' moves up a directory tree! This also works both ways : $loc = "../files/poese.txt" $loc = "..//files//poese.txt" -----Original Message----- From: Jason [mailto:jason@op480.com] Sent: 30 November 2001 10:54 To: mweb; phplist Subject: Re: [PHP] HTTP_POST_VARS truncated try: reset($HTTP_POST_VARS); at the begining of the code. if that doesn't work verify your html again. make sure the <select>'s are between the form tag. php doesn't ignore certain form fields. =) i'm the habit of reading arrays like... while(list($k,$v) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { echo "key is $k - val is $v \n"; } > To test the http/php setup on one of my computers I wrote a > very simple html form, with two select fields, > two text fields, and the submit field.
