FORM DATA - Apache 2.0.39

[Anon]

I'm using Apache 2.0.39 & php-4.2.2 (and have tried php-4.2.1 & php-4.2.0), RedHat Linux 7.3.

Have simple form (.htm) which submits to php script (.php).

The form has METHOD=POST, ENCTYPE=application/form-data (also tried application/x-www-urlencode) but $POST is always empty ($REQUEST is empty too).

Using a HREF link $_REQUEST IS defined ok.

PHP Compilation difficulties were :-

php-4.2.0 commented out line 93 of sapi/apache2filter/php_functions.c which was
STRING(boundary);

php-4.2.1/2 same php_functions.c line 93 changed from
#if !MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST.......

to
#if !AP_MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST......

My .htm form & .php script work fine on a different server using Apache-1.3.19, php-4.2.0.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Phil,

would you help me please ?? I have de same configuration apache + php + red hat 7.3, but I can't figure it out how to configure this pieces together..
I try to follow the instructions in install file, but something goes wrong...for example..

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2

he never find de apxs file... and he exist

the libphp4.so doesn't existe, instead was created php binary file.

in httpd.conf I put Acction application , making a call to this php binary file. Apache doesn't complain, but doesn't work either.

please help me, how do you configure all this softwares... sorry about my english...

thanx a lot

Assuming Apache 2 compiled and installed ok, you should have an "apxs" file created on your server (default /usr/local/apache2/bin" or, if you used RedHat configuration then /usr/sbin/apxs).

Remember, when compiling PHP, you MUST use

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

I always put my configure and make commands in a executeable file then when i run redirect output to a file so that I can check it thoroughly if needed.

myshell.sh > z 2>&1

Good luck.

Hi,

well, my apache2 was installed and configured without problem. I did your step-by-step but it doesn't work. In http.conf I should call libphp4.so via LoadModule, that's the question... when I compile php, it does not create this file, but only php file,instead.

and now, what's your advice....
