Description:
------------
$_POST variable unavailable while $_GET is.  

Reproduce code:
---------------
// FAIL: This returns -1
if(isset($_POST['senderName'])){
	$msg = 1;	
} else {
	$msg = -1;
}

echo $msg;

<form action="sendCard.php" method="POST">
<input name="senderName" value="" type="text" size="60" maxlength="60" /><br />
<input name="send" type="submit" /><br />
</form>


If I change the from to GET and look for a GET
// SUCCESS: This returns 1
if(isset($_GET['senderName'])){
	$msg = 1;	
} else {
	$msg = -1;
}

echo $msg;

<form action="sendCard.php" method="GET">
<input name="senderName" value="" type="text" size="60" maxlength="60" /><br />
<input name="send" type="submit" /><br />
</form>



Expected result:
----------------
Both should return 1.

Actual result:
--------------
-1 on $_POST.

INI is relatively untouched past standard dir paths and cgi redirect disable, no 3rd party extensions.

looks like "#37276 problems witch $_POST array" but not fixed in windows...

Disable all firewalls and make sure your browser actually send this data.

I am behind the firewall on the 2003 box, and on my local developement copy there is no firewall.

What is your variables_order set to?
 [2006-12-11 14:59 UTC] mpaige at ryanidirect dot com 
variables_order = "GPCS"
 [2006-12-11 15:06 UTC] mpaige at ryanidirect dot com 
just switched them PGCS and the $_post and the $_get no work (variables_order = "PGCS").  Are their implications to this or is this resolved?
 [2006-12-11 15:36 UTC] mpaige at ryanidirect dot com 
TYPO: when post and get are reversed (PG), post and get both NOW work.

Please post your phpinfo() somewhere and put the link here.

I have this issue with IE 7 - $_POST is empty   - works with FF fine though.....
 [2007-03-11 14:24 UTC] webmaster at whatsthescuttlebutt dot com 
I am having this problem as well.  I have a PHP page with multiple 
forms, one that uses the GET method and several that use the POST method 
(the POST forms are part of a content star rating system).  Everything 
works great in Firefox and Safari, but in IE7 the POST variable is empty 
when the user submits the form with POST method (the action of that form 
is the full URI which contains GET names/values, so I am using GET and 
POST at the same time).  I tried changing the order as suggested but 
that did not solve the problem.  Since it works in other browsers, I 
assume my code and syntax is correct and that this is some issue with 
IE?  I don't have access to older versions of IE to see if it is 
occurring in IE6.

In my case this happend because someone increased the value of post_max_size to 32 (formerly 8), but just increased upload_max_filesize to 4 (from 2). So it seems this brings up a slight problem, which seems obvious to me - but should be mentioned somewhere in php.ini at least.
