So simple. So easy. Yet $username and $email will not get printed.
All my forms worked perfectly last week (boo-hoo, I know), but now only
GET will work on even the simplest of forms. And I would rather not go
through every form and change them to get.
Cause it's past midnight on my second day of trying to fix this I have
to ask.......
Any ideas?
Did I change a php.ini setting in my sleep?

Try a
print_r($_POST) ;
and see what you get. If nothing, then NULLs will be assigned as per
your code. This also probably points to a php.ini or other PHP or
Apache setting that is preventing POST variables, because AFAICT, you
code appears to be correct.

cheers Mark.
I have tried that allright. For GET it populates the Array but for
POST the array is empty.
Once I got all my text forms working correctly I moved onto file
upload. The only thing I can remember changing is the maximum file
size allowed in php.ini. But the fact that it worked and now doesn't
means I changed something else. But I can't for the life of me figure
out what it is. Anything specific I should look for? php.ini and
apache config looks fine. But I could be looking through rose tinted
glasses.
Thanks again mate.
Well, I answered my own question.
By changing
post_max_size = 1000000000M to
post_max_size = 100000000M
all post data was sent.
The reason I changed it was that I thought it worked in conjunction
with
upload_max_file size
but this doesn't seem to be the case. File upload will still upload
files of a gig.
Cool.
Thanks Mark.

Don't you think that 100,000 GIGABYTES is a little excessive for
POST data? Besides, it's apparently taking it as a signed 32-bit
number anyway, and if it's negative, it won't allow any.

isset is not the function you want to use. Try empty().

I am using in_array() to search for a value ("other"), in order to validate
a form.
If I pass $_POST as the array to search PHP says that it is an
invalid datatype.
It is an array and if I copy it to another variable (i.e. $list =
$_POST;) it works fine.
The same is also true of implode().
Do you believe this is intended or is it a bug?

Is it possible to click on a button, and not have it's value and name stored
in _POST?
I have this script with a button on it. When you click the button, the page
posts to itself. The first time you click this Save Changes button, _POST
is empty. After clicking the button, and the page is loaded again, if you
click Save Changes once more the _POST is properly set. What's up with
that?

How would I add a variable that I will assign to a list of $_POST
variables that I extract from a form?
My form passes a value for $q. That works fine. What I want to do is run
an if/else on it and assign a new variable based on what was chosen such as
if ($q == "red") {
$q = "tp"; //change $q to this value
$sub = "ak"; //attach this value to the $sub variable
} else {

I was trying to troubleshoot a login page that doesn't work - it keeps
saying the login/password is missing - when my tracing discovered this
peculiar behavior.
register_globals is off, so at the top of my script I assign a few

$login = clean($_POST, 30);
$passwd = clean($_POST, 30);

Hi,
I'm learning PHP and prepared a simple login form. validate.php does
the validation and it was behaving erratically. So, I did var_dump of
$_POST variable and it's NULL. Did I miss anything here regarding the
configuration or code? Code for validate.php is given below.
<?php

I am using values stored an $_POST array to display records from a table before
asking the user if he is sure he wants to delete them. If the user confirms then
the records are deleted. Without boring you with all of the code here is the
rough idea.
<?php
$delete = '( id = ' . implode(' OR id = ', $_POST ) . ' ) ';
if (!isset($_POST)) {
// Then display the records that were marked for deletion

Hi,
ok, quick description of the problem, I'm trying to reference the postdata from some checkboxes. Unfortunately the checkboxes are dynamically generated therefore I don't know how many there are and thus can't name them individually.
I remember reading that naming them with square brackets (as "name") will automatically create an array in the postdata (meaning $_POST is an array) is this true?
anyway, the fact is that my checkboxes...
