Bug #63696 [NEW]: PHP.net: Manual "Add note" script broken on php.net

From: krinklemail at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:PHP.net: Manual "Add note" script broken on php.net Description: ------------ Steps to reproduce problem: * Go to http://php.net/manual/add-note.php? sect=reserved.variables.server&redirect=http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variable s.server.php * Fill in the form * Submit the form (use Preview if you want to avoid sending the submission for real) Expected result: * add-note.php adds type=hidden fields for GET[sect] and GET[redirect] * Together with my input, they are sent over POST to the server * Response: "Your submission was successful -- thanks for contributing!" Actual result: * add-note.php adds type=hidden fields for GET[sect] and GET[redirect] * Together with my input, they are sent over POST to the server * Response: The same page again, but without the form. Message "To add a note, you must click on the "Add Note" button" in place of the form. This is caused by the fact that php.net pages have a <base> tag, set to www.php.net and www.php.net is a 301 redirect to php.net. So the POST request is forwarded as GET, without the POST payload. And worst of all, it is a loop (pressing Submit press will loop back, and then the same). Assuming that www is always a redirect and that <base> is also outputted on other pages, this bug will be happening on any POST request, not just add-note.php. Please fix the <base> tag for php.net to point to php.net, not www.php.net. PS: What is the purpose of this <base> tag anyway? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63696&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63696&r=mysqlcfg
