Hi,
The script below *used* to work. I have only just set up a
server, PHP etc again on my Win98 system and now it doesn't?
On first loading this page, you would have
$p =
and the button image below it.
On clicking the button the same page would reload but pass the hidden values
(r=w & p=f)
so that the first line of the page would then have
$p = f
This no longer works???
<?php
echo "<html><body>";
echo "\$p = $p<br><br>"; //###
$str = <<<HTM
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="r" value="w">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="f">
<input type="image" src="http://home/images/faq-up.gif" border="0"
height="22" width="77">
</form>
</body>
</html>
HTM;
echo $str;
?>
on printing the $_ENV variables along with the the above script I find the
following :
QUERY_METHOD POST
REQUEST_METHOD POST
FORM_P f
FORM_R w
Is there something I haven't enabled in my
setup of PHP that is stopping this from working now?
Or has something changed with PHP, so that I have to do this another way?
many thanks

A variable passed from HTML by the POST method is $_POST['r'] or
$_POST['p'], *not* $r or $p. (Also see $_GET for variables
passed by the GET method). Fix your script. Do not turn
on "register_globals".

Don't know much about PHP, but it does appear you are sending "<body>"
twice, once in line 2 and once in line 7. The one in line 2 should be
deleted so the "<head>" section of the page comes first. Or you need to
rearrange the order of your statements.

Yes, you are right about the double <head>, this was due to shortening the
script and missing this repeat.
However, this makes absolutely no difference to the operation of the script.

This will work, you have to set up an submit button
(javascript or nativ html to send your form data)
If you would like to have an image you should prefer JavaScript.
If a simple HTML - Button is enougth try the simple Submit Button like
in my example.

How are you submitting your form? I don't see a submit button, for
instance.

Use $_POST or $HTTP_POST_VARS as others have suggested ($_POST
is preferred, $HTTP_POST_VARS only if $_POST does not work, which
means that you have OLD version of PHP).
$str = <<<HTM
<head>
</head>

Give some value to the "action" attribute. Using empty "action"
works differently in different browser. Your browser probably
does not send the data in this case.

</html>
And check HTML source which gets generated before and after submiting
the form. If it still does not work (does not output the posted values),
then send what you got to this thread.

action="" posts the data to the file\page that is loaded.
As you will also see from the OP, the data *is* being sent
on printing the $_ENV variables along with the the above script I find
the following :
QUERY_METHOD POST
REQUEST_METHOD POST
FORM_P f

the FORM_P f and FORM_R w are the data that have been received. Only I can't

There is some problem with your above action as it sends the post to
http://home/public_html/test.php
not
http://home/test.php
the absolute path to the script is C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/test.php
where C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/ is analogous to my server's http://home
I have also added the following to my script
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {echo "{$key}={$value}<br>";}
and this doesn't print anything. Very strange. How can I get
FORM_P f
FORM_R w
yet $_POST appears to be empty¿
The further I go, the less I know

nope, doesn't work either :(
This will work, you have to set up an submit button
(javascript or nativ html to send your form data)
If you would like to have an image you should prefer JavaScript.
If a simple HTML - Button is enougth try the simple Submit Button like
in my example.
Have Fun...
<?php
echo "<html>";
echo "\$p = ".$_POST['p']."<br><br>"; //###
$str = <<<HTM
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="r" value="w">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="f">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
HTM;
echo $str;
?>
Did you try this wolfgang? I did and it doesn't work for me?
for me this has worked perfekt ..
This is where I think the problem lies, in that there may be something in
php.ini (or elsewhere) which isn't enabled that is preventing this working
for me.
Just can't figure out what or where :(
thx

How are you submitting your form? I don't see a submit button, for
instance.
I thought the same till I looked up the HTML-specification at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/inte...ms.html#h-17.4
Apparently the input of image type serves as a submit button.
vdP
Ah, you're right. I seldom use images for submit buttons - just my
programming style (and the fact I'm a lousy artist!).

Ah!, finally found the prob, duh!
My Xitami server has an option to pass form fields with a prefix. The prefix
was set to 'FORM_'.
Removing this prefix allows my scripts to work again, phew!

Give some value to the "action" attribute. Using empty "action"
works differently in different browser. Your browser probably
does not send the data in this case.
action="" posts the data to the file\page that is loaded.
In some browsers - yes. Read HTML specification. Value of
"action" attribute in "form" tag is REQUIRED.
Look here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/inte...ms.html#h-17.3
quote:
"This attribute specifies a form processing agent. User agent
behavior for a value other than an HTTP URI is undefined."
Empty value is not a HTTP URI.
As you will also see from the OP, the data *is* being sent
As I wrote - some browsers may behave like this. Yours apparently
does behave like this (which means that the wrong value of
"action" attribute is not the cause of the problem). This does NOT
mean that all browser will, so if you want your form to be
submitable in some other browsers too, then you should specify
valid value.
[snip] <form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ); ?>"
method="post">
[snip]
There is some problem with your above action as it sends the post to
http://home/public_html/test.php
not
http://home/test.php
the absolute path to the script is C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/test.php
where C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/ is analogous to my server's http://home
Which means that your server configuration is somehow screwed.
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] should point to the URL of the script which
was originally called. Maybe some value in your php.ini suggests that
"http://home/public_html/" is your DOCUMENT_ROOT (or something like
that, I'm not sure).
Hilarion
Hi all,
I have followed this thread with interest as I have almost the exact same
problem. ( I am new to PHP and have inherited a project with 100's of files
like this which I am moving to a new server). I also posted a similar
question which Irwin Moller answered and gave me some good tips to work
with. I have two differences from moriman's problem:
1) I don't see ANY entries when I dump the environment variables.
2) If I leave the form Method="POST", but return the variables I want as
"GET" args after the "?" then $_GET('name') works.
BTW-Moriman, Would you please post the specific's of the setting you found
in the Xtami server? I'm on Apache but there might be something similar
that I haven't found yet.
What I really don't understand is why GET will work but POST doesn't.
TIA for any suggestions on what to look for.

What happens if your
print_r($_POST);
Also try it with $_GET and $_REQUEST.
all 3 arrays are empty
post <?php print_r($_POST); ?><br>
get <?php print_r($_GET); ?><br>
request <?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?><br>
gives
post Array ( )
get Array ( )
request Array ( )
Ah!, finally found the prob, duh!
My Xitami server has an option to pass form fields with a prefix. The
prefix was set to 'FORM_'.
Removing this prefix allows my scripts to work again, phew!
Thanks for your input ;-)

I don't know if you realize this, but you are using the wrong brackets on
the array $_GET['name'].
GET is used for URL variables/fields. POST is used for the other
"invisible" method of passing form fields. $_REQUEST[] will see form fields
from either method if I remember correctly.
$HTTP_POST_VARS and $_HTTP_GET_VARS are deprecated (being tossed). I have
heard someone post a complaint that it was not working in the latest PHP,
but that seems out of style with PHP's thing for compatibility - but it's a
warning nonetheless.

news:11*************@corp.supernews.com... Hi all,
I have followed this thread with interest as I have almost the exact same
problem. ( I am new to PHP and have inherited a project with 100's of
files
like this which I am moving to a new server). I also posted a similar
question which Irwin Moller answered and gave me some good tips to work
with. I have two differences from moriman's problem:
1) I don't see ANY entries when I dump the environment variables.
2) If I leave the form Method="POST", but return the variables I want as
"GET" args after the "?" then $_GET('name') works.
BTW-Moriman, Would you please post the specific's of the setting you found
in the Xtami server? I'm on Apache but there might be something similar
that I haven't found yet.
What I really don't understand is why GET will work but POST doesn't.
TIA for any suggestions on what to look for.
Marty

Hi Jim,
Yep, a typo on my part with the wrong brackets when I created the email. I
use them correctly in the code.
The backward compatibility problem is accurate. I had to fix it because I
did not want to turn "register_globals" in php.ini 'on'.
My problem with the POST variables turned out to be a problem with the
"sitepreview" that is being used to test the new server. Someone else was
able to find the problem and got it fixed. I don't know the details yet. I
don't know what "sitepreview" is or what it involves.
I'm pretty new to web programming
Thanks
