PHP $_POST not working but $_GET works fine

Question

I\'m trying to build a simple login system using

. Everything works fine on MAMP on my laptop but when I upload the script to the se

Answer 1

I got it fixed eventually, figure I might as well post what worked here in case someone else has the same problem in future.

Turns out one of these HTTP modules was interfering with POST:

RadCompression
RadUploadModule

With these modules turned off, POST worked fine.

(NB this was on a totally new app where I knew there wasn't any existing code that might have depended on one of those modules... turning them off may have unintended consequences I'm not aware of, YMMV.)

Answer 2

One possibility is that POST is not an allowed verb on the server:

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/verbs

Answer 3

I've had the same problem with $_POST being empty/NULL, and after spending 30 minutes searching SO and Google I finally found a solution that worked for me.

Since I don't know how to change the php.ini file for MAMP I edited my htaccess to include this:

php_value post_max_size 60M
php_value upload_max_filesize 60M

and I can var_dump($_POST) with the submitted input fine now.
