$_Server['request_Method'] Not In Index

[markhutch]

It's been a while since I coded PHP so I'm more than happy to admit I've made a newbie mistake somewhere - but I don't see where!

 

If I view the following in a browser I get everything I would normally expect:

 

http://localhost/?phpinfo=1

 

Including:

_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] GET

 

 

However, when I have the following code:

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST") { ...

 

I get this error:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_METHOD in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\6.1\samples\php_tutorials\guestbook.php on line 40

 

(The code above is line 40 of course

 

There are SOME $_SERVER values that I can access, like SCRIPT_NAME or PATH_TRANSLATED. Just not the ones I'm trying to access.

 

What am I missing?? This is being run on a freshly installed WampServer 2.2.

Your IDE is probably running php through the command line, and not the web server. Request methods, post, get,... are specific to making http requests.

I'm using Komodo 6. The file in question is one of its Tutorial files. I would have thought that it would be geared up to run. Maybe there's some magic setting I've not filled in correctly. Thanks for the info though.

You could do like this:

 

$requestMethod = isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) ? $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] : null;

if ($requestMethod == 'post') {
// Post request
}

 

Or like this:

 

if (!empty($_POST)) {
// Post request
}

Like PFMaBiSmAd already mentioned are you running the file under http://localhost or are you running it inside the editor Komodo?
