#269 Form data won't submit with POST

[Anonymous]

Hi Pierre - me again...

I figured out why the session stuff failed - it wasn't the session itself it was the form-processing! :-/
When using forms with the method 'GET' everything works just as it should, but somehow 'POST' messes that thing up!

Let's take a simple form with one text-field 'INP' and the method POST:
using isset($_POST['INP']) returns true, however the value of $_POST['INP'] is empty. Instead, the variable $_GET['INP'] returns the correct text entered in the form (although the POST method was used!).

I don't know what exactly you changed in the 2.4 version, but both that session- and form-stuff worked fine in 2.3....

Ok. There's already a thread about this bug

> what exactly you changed in the 2.4 version
The compiler: we went from Delphi6 to Delphi 2009
Delphi 2009 is "full unicode".

"Internal Preview" is based on the common gateway interface (PHP-CGI)
I've sent a question to comp.php.windows - no reply
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.windows/17287

Perhaps should I file a bug request?

Regards,
Pierre.

Unlike $ _GET which is a collection of Unicode variables, the $ _POST variable is an UTF8 encoded file. The fix is only 2 lines of code.
I've created a too huge bug.
Thanks a lot for your patience.

Yours respectfully,
Pierre.
