PHP in Win32

[kasuals]

Anyone had any problems with PHP4 in Win32 (Apache 1.3.x) not passing form values via POST?

I can't seem to get it to read form values even with GET.

I'm not a newbie, so I know there are no syntax errors... I've run almost every test I can... could it be a problem with PHP or Apache?

Just a heads up:

At least on my linux server, I can access POST data via the variable name passed, i.e.:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;whatever&quot; value=&quot;foo&quot;>

echo $whatever;

For some reason within my Win32 installation I can only access POST data via the _POST variable... is there any way around this? Or should I just convert all my code to reflect _POST?

Blah. Windows.

This is the &quot;register_globals&quot; problem.

In php.ini, if register_globals is set to &quot;on&quot;, then the value of a form element named &quot;foo&quot; will be available to a PHP script as &quot;$foo&quot;.

However, the default value for register_globals is &quot;off&quot;. The value of a submitted form element named &quot;foo&quot; will be in either $_GET['foo'] or $_POST['foo'], for a GET- or POST-method form, respectively.

I strongly recommend that you leave register_globals set to
&quot;off&quot;, as does the PHP online manual here:

As a doublecheck for you, you can output the entire arary using:
print_r($_GET[]);
print_r($_POST[]);

this will help you to identify what method and what variables are populated.

I've found that

print_r ($_GET);
and
print_r ($_POST);

(minus the brackets) work, too.
