I have the same problem with POST method, tried all options in this thread and other forums too, but could not get it work.

Here is my code: <?php

$data = filegetcontents(‘php://input’); print(“Data is : “); print_r($data);

print “CONTENTTYPE: ” . $SERVER['CONTENTTYPE'] . “”; $data = filegetcontents(‘php://input’); print “DATA:

";
var

The output is: Data is :

CONTENT_TYPE: DATA:

string(0) “” array(0) { }

Can anybody help me on this?

Hi, I just found my solution on http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22427 In my case, I just disabled the suhosin extension. Hope this helps.

While experiencing this issue, too we found that the cause of this problem was the suhosin patch, wich was – by default – configured to have a max limit for the length of cookie, request, post, get and session vars. E.g. for POST this looks like:

suhosin.post.maxarraydepth 100 100 suhosin.post.maxarrayindexlength 64 64 suhosin.post.maxnamelength 64 64 suhosin.post.maxtotalnamelength 256 256 suhosin.post.maxvaluelength 65000 65000 suhosin.post.maxvars 200 200

Those derivatives needs to be set to a adequate higher number. E.g. in our case, the problem was, that our POST data was too long (as this seems to be the case for a lot of you here).

So I suggest to check your php.ini or (according to your distribution there often is a suhosin.ini) and correct the above values or set them to 0 to disable it. If those derivatives are not set, default values will be used. You need to check / add: suhosin.post.max…. suhosin.request.max… suhosin.get.max… suhosin.session.max… suhosin.cookie.max_…

Refer to your phpinfo() where these values should be listed!

Your test example was working on my machine but my real form was still not submitting anything (I was submiting one form to another). My php.ini was correctly configured so it had to be something else.

One reason was that my submit button didn’t have valid name attribute and value – it has to have one name attribute and its value has to be without underscores, for example like this: name=”submit” and not name=”submitbtn” (as described, for example, here: http://hr.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php, comment from arnelmilan).

The other reason was my login and password fields also not having name atributes, so I added them as well, also without underscores, for example, name=”login”, name=”password”.

I guess I was used to use “id” attributes instead of “name” (since I am not really a php programmer, but a .net one).

I hope this helps someone with similar problem.

Cheers!
