$fdat not working when using POST

[Hoenie Luk]

I have been developing an embperl page on my local Windows machine with Apache 1.3.6 installed. It has a button named "enter" and when pressed, the form pass the query strings by POST method to the same page, and I can detect a value in $fdat{enter}. So everything is working fine.

Then I ftp the page to my web host running Linux and Apache. All of a sudden, $fdat{enter} is always undefined even when the button is pressed. In fact, %fdat is always empty. So the same page reload as if it was accessed for the first time.

I did find that if I change the method to GET, then the $fdat works again.

BTW, %udat works normally on the web host (using MySQL for storage and locking; Apache::SessionX installed)

Now I would like POST to work on my web host, too, when the strings are long. What could possibly cause this problem? Where should I look? (There are no errors in the error log).

Thanks.

........Hoenie
