invalid argument

[the_crazyman]

Hi,

 

I'm after some advice if anyone can help.

 

I'm developing a website on my laptop using Xampp. I have then proceeded to upload the website pages onto another server which I’m told is a LAMP environment.

 

When I do this, and run the application, I'm getting a message

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ....... on line 44

 

The code in relation is simply:

foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value)

{

$query = INSERT INTO DATABASE, ets, etc

$result = mysql_query($query, $link_id);

}

 

When I run the website on my laptop it's bug-free and it posts the info to the database as expected.

However, when I use it on the other server I get the error message.

 

I've checked what's being passed using

echo "<pre>";

print_r($_POST);

echo "</pre>\n";

 

and all seems to be there what should be there in the array.

 

I'm not the most technical person, but can someone give me any ideas of where I’m going wrong.

try $_POST instead. http_post_vars is depreciated.

For $HTTP_POST_VARS i think you need to have register_globals enabled.

I think on your laptop it is enabled or is running <v4.1 of php.

On the other server I think it is disabled. You should use $_POST instead.
