hi all

I quickly set up php, mysql & xitami for some development on my win XP box.

It was working fine till I tried using forms. I cannot get the $_GET and $_POST variables to populate with the form variables. Here is my form (pretty basic):

<form action="http://localhost/webpages/myjobs/index.php" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

The following PHP:

PHP Code:

var_dump($_GET);
var_dump($_POST);
var_dump($_REQUEST); 


Outputs:

array(0) { } array(0) { } array(0) { }

However, the following is returned by phpinfo():

 _SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] => name=x&age=c

So it is picking up the variables, however, $_GET is not been populated. Tried the same thing with post and same result.

Coming back to PHP after a 2 year break, is this some new security feature I haven't heard about?

Any feedback would be gratefully accepted (only set up the box to do some quick dev work, but its turned out to be anything but)

Try doing this instead:

PHP Code:

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


Doesnt work, the $_GET and $_POST arrays are completely empty

Maybe this is a dumb question, but are you sure the form is targeting the page that the code is on?

Also, can we see more, or even all of the code that is on the page?

I have just removed Xitami and configured Apache, and it's now working.

Must be some Xitami config option (still, pretty strange to disable for variables by default).

Cheers for feedback anyway guys.
