I came across a similar yet slightly different issue and it took 2 days to understand the issue.

• In my case also POST array was empty.

• Then checked with file_get_contents('php://input'); and that was also empty.

Later I found that browser wasnt asking confirmation for resubmitting form data after If I refresh the page loaded after POST submission. It was directly refreshing page. But when I changed form URL to a different one it was passing POST properly and asked for resubmitting data when attempted to refresh page.

Then I checked what is wrong with actual URL . There were no fault with URL, however it was pointing to a folder without index.php in URL and I was checking POST at index.php.

Here I doubted the redirection from / to /index.php causes POST data to be lost and tested URL with appending index.php to the URL.

That Worked.
