Fucking PHP

[Useless]

Any guesses on why a php form using 'post' would not work? It has worked just dandy on 3-4 consecutive hosts, but doesn't do anything except reload the page on my newest one. No errors are printed, not even if the form is left blank.

i'd guess that it's because on your new host register_globals is off. Does your code rely on register_globals being on?

run phpinfo() to see if it is set to off or on.

what does var_dump($_POST) show when you put it on the top of your script that processes the form data?

Yup, globals are off. I've got a ticket into my host now to edit my php.ini. I shell'd in and tried to edit it myself, but it said I didn't have permission. Don't know why I have root access if I can't do anything...

var_dump($_POST) produces an error.

Thank you, fingers crossed.

in your .htaccess, try

php_flag register_globals on

You, sir, are far too good to me.

Thanks, Chris - it works like a charm.

if your script ain't too complex then try and get it changed to to run in a globals off compliant fashion as that will run fine in both scenarios and will be future proof for when php drops support completely for register_globals....

just a thought

Did you try banging or kicking the side of your harddrive?

That use to work on an old TV of mine.

I thought it was going to be a post about kids using and getting high off PHP. All the kids are using it these days I hear.
