Help needed with HTTP_POST_VARS problem

[Anon]

Hello,

I'd appreciate any help on the problem below...

A seperate piece of software (on a remote machine) can send logs using POST. I'm not sure exactly how the remote software works, but I do know that I can give it a URL to send the logs to. I have given it a valid URL (to my PHP script.)

I have written a PHP script to pick up these logs (or at least one of them) and display the contents.

The problem is the following piece of code isn't displaying anything!!

Any idea?? Thanks!!

Btw I'm very new to PHP so I'm sure I'm doing something totally wrong...

while($element=each(array_count_values($HTTP_POST_VARS)))
{
echo $element["key"];
echo " - ";
echo $element["value"];
echo "<br>";
}

If your just trying to pull out the key/value pairs from the post data, then try the following:

while( list( $key, $value ) = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS) )
{
echo "$key / $value";
}

I'm not sure why your using array_count_values() in your example above (assuming that's just an error).

If you're wanting to specifically return an array like what your doing above, then consider the following:

if the post data contains action=submit, then this example would work:

while ( $element = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS) )
{
echo "$element[0] / $element[1]";
}

Hope that helps.
