[PHP3] Post Problems From: rbv <email protected>

Ok - I have a very weird problem with parsing the $HTTP_POST_VARS.

When I use perl - I can see everything coming in via a POST - but when I use
PHP3 - I cannot get anything out of the
HTTP_POST_VARS array.

I execute the following using a POST :

<?;
Header("Content-type: text/html");

echo " The request method is $REQUEST_METHOD <BR>";
echo " The Content length is $CONTENT_LENGTH <BR>";
echo "the HTTP_POST_VARS is : $HTTP_POST_VARS <BR>";
echo "There are ".count($HTTP_POST_VARS)." items in http_post_vars
<BR><BR>";

while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
     echo "$name = $value<br>\n";
   }

echo "End"

?>

And this is the output :

The request method is POST
The Content length is 2662
the HTTP_POST_VARS is : Array
There are 0 items in http_post_vars

End

Can I assume b/c the $CONTENT_LENGTH is 2662 - that there is something in
the array?? But then why is the count 0?

I know I will get a lot of " But it works on my box " Im sure - but this
does not work on my box ;)

Any ideas at all would be most grateful!

Thanks,

Rob
