Hi all,
I have followed this thread with interest as I have almost the exact same
problem. ( I am new to PHP and have inherited a project with 100's of files
like this which I am moving to a new server). I also posted a similar
question which Irwin Moller answered and gave me some good tips to work
with. I have two differences from moriman's problem:
1) I don't see ANY entries when I dump the environment variables.
2) If I leave the form Method="POST", but return the variables I want as
"GET" args after the "?" then $_GET('name') works.
BTW-Moriman, Would you please post the specific's of the setting you found
in the Xtami server? I'm on Apache but there might be something similar
that I haven't found yet.
What I really don't understand is why GET will work but POST doesn't.
TIA for any suggestions on what to look for.
Marty
