[RESOLVED] fickle $HTTP_POST_VARS?

[ugasucks]

okokok... so i have a script that tries to execute the following line:

$string = $HTTP_POST_VARS[key($HTTP_POST_VARS)];

my problem (solved in an earlier post) is that i will have an unknown string posted to input.php and i must grab the string and insert it to a flat file. when i tested my code on my local box (with apache & php 4.2.1) everything worked fine. now, when i place the file on a remote server, i get the desired result sporatically, if at all.

i've done sizeof() and it's returning zero-- so i'm not missing anything.

the version of php on the remote server is 4.1.2 also. i've done a phpinfo() on it and all needed settings are there.

so, besides my stupidity, what's happening to my POSTed vars?

eureka! my problem was caused by a redirect setup on the remote server... all php commands go through php.server.com instead of just server.com.
