http request method == GET regardless of the form's setting?
Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:15 am
My web form requires the POST method because of large amount of data. I have found that the POST doesn't work in CMSMS as one would expect.
There are two pages to demonstrate the issue.
The page test-post1 content is the form itself and the method is specified as POST:
The page test-post2, which is the action for the form, displays the actual method of the http request, GET and POST arrays and the value from the :
The output from test-post2 is:
It is expected that echoing $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] would result to POST but it is GET in the sample. The value of variable t1 in undefined. When I change the form's method to GET everything works.
What makes the change of the http request method? Is it the engine of CMSMS?
Thank you.

Code: Select all
<form action="test-post2" method="post" name="my_test" id="my_test">
<input id="t1" name="t1" type="text" />
<input value="ok" name="t2" id="t2" type="submit" />
</form>Code: Select all

{php}
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] . "<br/>";
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_GET);
echo "<br/>t1=" . $_POST["t1"] . " (via post)";
echo "<br/>t1=" . $_GET["t1"] . " (via get)";
