chrispols Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi,I have PHP/Mysql running on my local server and everything works 100% I have now started running PHP on a windows 2003 IIS.The issue I am having is with a standard POST display.I have 2 files, test.php and test2.php. The following is what they contain:Test.php:::<html><head><title>Untitled Document</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body><form name="form1" method="post" action="test2.php"> <p> <input name="First_Name" type="text" id="First_Name"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p></form></body></html>Test2.php<html><head><title>Untitled Document</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body><form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <p><?php echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['First_Name']; ?> the name</p> <p> </p></form></body></html>On my machine, the Post_Vars works fine. On the IIS server, nothing comes up. It's blank. I can't figure out what is wrong with the setup.Any ideas?Thanks a lot,Chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23656-standard-post-variables-not-working-on-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Use $_POST rather than $HTTP_POST_VARS$HTTP_*_VARS are depreciated. You should use the newer superglobal arrays instead. Which are ($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, $_SESSION etc).
