Bug Type: *General Issues
Operating System: Windows XP / 2000
PHP Version: 4.2.3
New Comment:
When the post data contains HTML special entities i.e. "&" it is
stripped off. PHP POst variable only contains data before the first
occurrence of "&"
I am not sure whether it is a bug or something else. I am yet to test
the POST containing other HTML entities. I have been trying to solve the
issue but it remains yet.
Any help there?

Hi there,
I solved this problem setting
output_buffering = On
in my PHP.ini.
I hope this helps.

The same problem happens to me (and my users unfortunately).
- PHP Version 5.1.6
- Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
- only with enctype="multipart/form-data"
- only with IE6 on WinXP sp2
- _POST is completely empty (count($_POST) === 0)
- Uploaded files are smaller than 3 MB.
- Charset: US-ASCII (both Apache header and Meta-tag)
For some reason only _some_ IE6 WinXP SP2 machines trigger this error.
Opera and Firefox do not seem to trigger this error at all.

I am still looking for why this worked... but...
When I changed "$_POST" to "$HTTP_POST_VARS", the form data is now
there. I think it has something to do with the global variables
setting, but not sure yet.

Hi,
I found the same POST problem. I have a login form and it works fine
on FireFox and IE 6.0.3790, but not on IE 6.0.2800. If the username and
password are all one word it works fine on IE 6.0.2800 but if it is made
of 2 or more words it only posts the variables once in every 10 or so
posts.
I read that this problem can be got around by using .htm extension
rather than .php - to get around this I changed the httpd.conf file to
read:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm
I then changed the extension of my login file to .htm and this seems to
work ok.
