mikk809h Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hello pros. I've been working on a website, and i just figured out that a thing is completely wrong. I am entering the website with: "website.com/something.php?name='Hello/system/root/advance.exe'" but somehow the $_POST['name'] is null... My current php code which just prints that post data: <?php $postedFileName = $_POST["name"]; echo $postedFileName; /*#-- Here it doesnt echo anything --#*/ ?> Isnt it possible to use forwardslashes in php? Thanks in Advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/288740-_postfilepath-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 $_POST is for data sent in the body of a POST request. When you just tack a value onto the url as in ?name=blah then you need to use $_GET to access the value: echo $_GET['name']; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/288740-_postfilepath-not-working/#findComment-1480727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
