PHP code not sending POST form variables

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded the PHP code at http://www.inventory-management.org/
and am currently in the process of trying to get the code up and
running. I am running PHP version 5.1.6.6, so I needed to change the
function named fputcsv to f_put_csv.

However, when trying to login to the page (after setting up the
database), I find that the $_POST array is empty?! I found this by
putting the line var_dump($_POST) at the top of the index.php file.
When I change the method of the form to "get", the variables are sent
appropriately.

I read that the problem might be due to the server configuration, but
a simple script that echoes the contents of $_POST from a simple form
shows that variables can be posted:

(the test code is:


var_dump($_POST);
?>

Re: PHP code not sending POST form variables

the test code you include doesn't have an action attribute, which is
required, the code that isn't working does have an action set on the
form? and it does feature the scriptname in which you've included the
var_dump code doesn't it?
