[RESOLVED] POST method not working

[clauderodney]

Hi,

I have come across dead end with respect to this problem that i am facing. I have a simple test code which i am trying to get it work. I have used the $_post method in order to pass input from one page and to be displayed on on another page. However I don't get any output or specific error message, all I get is Array().

There are two file the first file contains the below code:

---

<form method="post" action="dst01.php">

<br>

Enter your name: <input type="text" name="first_name0"/> <br/>

<input type="submit" name="submit"/> </form>

---

In this code i am taking the input from the user.
Below is the dst01.php file which contains the following code:

---

<?php

echo "Your name is :".$_POST["first_name0"]."<br/>";

?>

<?php print_r($_POST); ?>

I have enabled the register_globals in the php.ini file still it gives the same message Array()

I'm not able to understand what is it that needs to be enabled.... ultimately it seems that the $_POST is not working.

I need urgent help on this.... if any one has any suggestion on resolving this problem feel free to post in.....

I copied and pasted your code and it worked fine for me. Where do you get the "Array()" output, as part of the echo or the print_r()?

register_globals should not affect this code, but by preference should be turned off unless you really need it, as it is now deprecated and will not be available at all in PHP 6.

Which webserver software are you running?

Hi,

Well I am using Apache 1.3.41 as the webserver. The code does work fine on another server. When i click on the submit button it displays on the browser the following:

Your name is :
Array()

This is what i am not able to figure as to what does this array mean. And how do i go about solving it......

"Thank You all for replying to this post."

It certainly appears the $_POST is empty. The "Array()" is probably coming from the print_r() command, whereas the preceding echo command has no value, since the array is empty.

I have no idea why it's happening, but it might be useful to stick the following lines at the top just to see if PHP has anything useful it's trying to tell you:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// rest of script....
?>

Hi

Thank you all for helping me in the never ending task.

Anyway i found the solution. I don’t know how but the solution was a silly one. I found a post in the forum of cpanel.net and a similar problem was resolved by commenting the line

LoadModule bandwidth_module libexec/mod_bandwidth.so in the httpd.conf and restarting apache.

I tried the same without many expectations and the problem resolved.
