Form Data Not Sent by Browser

[vincecarney]

I have a simple form that calls a .php script once submitted. It's
currently on a Linux server. The form data is sent via method="post"
but the data isn't being sent by the browser.

I have tested the form and .php script on another server on a different
network and it works fine.

Anybody run into this issue???

You have to post the server-side code to get a real answer.

But just as a guess, the server that 'works' probably has
register_globals=on
while the server that 'does not work' has
register_globals=off

If so, use the php manual to learn how to read the $_POST array

[vincecarney]

php script:

<?php
echo "$name";
?>

html form:
<form action="handle_form.php" method="post">
<fieldset><legend>Enter your information in the form below:</legend>
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="16%"><strong>Name:</strong></td>

If I use method="get" in the html form the data entered in the name
text box is not sent to the URL.

FYI - I already tried register globals = ON.
<td width="84%"><input type="text" name="name" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</form>

And have you examined the $_POST or $_GET array?
What does it say if your print_r() them? Also empty?

Yes it's empty.

In the HTML form using method="get" the data entered isn't even sent in
the URL. Is this an Apache server configuration?

This is crazy!

How are you sending the data. I don't see a submit button.

Use print_r($_POST); on the handle_form.php to be sure that the info is
being passed from the form. If it is there, does handle_form.php have a
method coded on it to extract the variables? If not, you need to use
$_POST['name'] when you call it.

I changed the PHP script with this:

print_r($_POST);

and it does return the values entered. What's my next step???

Check your html for errors - something may be causing the form to be not
processed properly. A validator is available at http://validator.w3.org/.

join 2003 and get your variables the proper way.

you shouldn't (and can't, according to your config) just get your text
field value by saying

echo $name;

first you need to get the variable from the $_POST array:

$name = $_POST['name'];
echo $name;

voila.
