Posting from IE8 to PHP gives blank $_POST

Question

I have a simple HTML form, sending a post request to a php script. In IE8, the form only works intermittently - most of the time the PHP script sees an empty $_POST variable

Answer 1

I'm suspicious that when the script is telling you that $_POST is empty, you did not actually POST the form. You can check by adding print($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']); after your print_r($_POST);
