Hi...I am trying to write a test html/php app that accepts some POSTed XML data and replies with (for now) an echo of the $_POST array. Here is my index.htm.. - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>XML POST Test v1.0</title>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
-
<form id="Form1" action="POST" method="post.php">
-
<!-- Input elements will be put here -->
-
</form>
-
This is the POST test index.htm page...
-
</body>
-
</html>
...and my post.php.. - <?php
-
echo '<result>'
-
echo $_POST;
-
echo '</result>'
-
?>
The problem is that post.php is not being called after I call the IdHttp.Post(...) method in my external app...I am just getting a dump of the index.htm as a reply.
I probably have some fundemental misunderstanding of how POST is handled...i was assuming that any POST-ed data trigger a call to post.php, but it does seem to work that way...
Any idea appreciated!

Heya, Mark. Welcome to TSDN!
What happens when you submit the form? Does it go to post.php, or does it reload the current page?
Also, you may want to do this instead: -
echo '<![CDATA[' . json_encode($_POST) . ']]>';
-
echoing $_POST will just output 'Array'.

First of all, thanks for your kind welcome and your echo suggestion has been implemented...
yes you have hit on the problem i think...the POST is being done programmatically (using an IdHTTP object) so I am not sure how the "submit" is being processed...basically, I am trying to implement a REST-like system so thrid-parties can POST input xml to a webpage and I return xml depending upon the results.
Maybe someone has a link some pre-existing PHP solution to this problem...I doubt I am the only one trying to do this...

Heya, Mark.
Are you using Indy? Is this HTML code designed to be loaded in a web browser?
Heya, Mark.
Are you using Indy? Is this HTML code designed to be loaded in a web browser?
Yes I am using INDY and the the code is *not* designed for a web browser...in my last comment I had an "a-ha" moment when I realized that I was actually doing a REST-y thing, so I found this to chew on... http://www.isolani.co.uk/blog/atom/P...Implementation
...if you have any ideas to use INDY components to do this easier then apache/php, I am all ears.
