The script below worked with php3. When the button
<input type="submit" name="Enregistrer" value="Enregistrer" >
is clicked, the variable $Enregistrer gets the value "Enregistrer" and the test
if($Enregistrer=="Enregistrer")
says yes.

We transfered our site on a server with PHP4 and then the HTTP_POST_VARS are prepended by two characters RC BS (decimal codes 13  & 10) and the above test says no.
If I change the test to
if(strcmp(substr($Enregistrer,2),"Enregistrer")==0)
it says yes.

Please try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ as I can't reproduce this.

Recompiling php4 (with the right httpd.h) solved the problem.
Before, both apache and php were installed by way of RPMs:
apache-1.3.14-3 and php-4.0.4pl1-3

It seems that these RPM were not fully compatible (they were not compiled together).

Solved by recompiling -> closed.
