$_POST['filepath'] ... Not working ?

[mikk809h]

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

$_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'];
