It might be a bug in PHP 5.2.5, as I had problems with that version. I downgraded to 5.2.4 - that's what I used to test my code on. However the code you posted did not work for me on 5.2.4 Regards Keith

I tried your code on my machine but it was doing strange things to the URL for the page.

To: php-install@lists.php.net From: Jesse Santana <jsantana@csulb.edu> Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] Interesting POST error One of our developers has brought an interesting problem to my

attention.

I'll start off by describing our environment. We are running a Solaris

10

server with Apache 2.2.6. PHP version 5.2.5 is loaded as a module and appears to be working fine. However, our developer ran into a problem using dokuwiki. When he submits a form with a <html> tag in it, he receives a 400 error. He threw together this little script to verify

the

problem: <html> <body> <?php echo sprintf("%s", $_POST['wikitext']); ?> <br /> <form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" accept-charset="utf-8"> <textarea name="wikitext" style="height: 300px;" cols="80" rows="10"></textarea> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> This can be viewed here: http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/php/PostTest.php As you can see, the script does nothing more than take what is submitted and display it on the screen. However, if you type in <html> then click on the Submit Query button, you will get a 400 error. Does anyone know why this is occurring? Am I looking at some php.ini parameter change to fix this?
