Description:
------------
I have a problem with $_POST and the header() function.
If I make a test on $_POST, my 404 http header is replaced by a 2OO OK header.
If I make a test on $_GET (with a get action in html form), or an another variable, I receive the 404 http header.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
if (isset($_POST['test']) == true)
{
	header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found", true);
	die();
}
else
{
?>
<form method="post">
	<input type="text" name="test" value="" />
	<input type="submit" name="modify" value="Modify" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
A 404 HTTP header in response.

Actual result:
--------------
A 200 OK HTTP header in response.

Are you sure?  I tested your code under both PHP 4.4 and 5.1 and it works nicely.  With a request like:

POST /abc.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: UTF-8,*
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Referer: http://localhost/abc.php
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 19
test=&modify=Modify

I get back:

HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 13:59:21 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/5.1.0-dev
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.0-dev
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Keep-Alive: timeout=1, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Of course, there is no body to the 404 response, because you are not sending any.  So how exactly did you check that you were getting a 200 back on the POST request?

Whats happend after you add the missing action tag ot the form?
 [2005-07-12 16:12 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
You don't need an action there.  But if you set it explicitly it doesn't change the result.
