I've seen this bug reported before in here. just wanted to say that it's present in 4.2.3 

<form action="no_vars.php">
<input type="text" name="foo" value="bar">
<input type="submit">
</form>

then on the page no_vars.php

var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS);

gives this output:

array(0) { } 


in other reports post worked when enctype="multipart/form-data" was removed. no luck on this, I've tried it both ways.

thanks for your time.
