$_POST variables coming through empty in IE7 for one subfolder

Question

I\'ve having trouble with $_POST variables not being received from forms within a PHP website.

To clarify the problem, I created this simple PHP script \"POST_test.p

Answer 1

This problem can be worked around by disabling pre-authentication in IE. In the registry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"

On the Edit menu, Add Value name DisableNTLMPreAuth as a type REG_DWORD and set the data value to 1 (true).
