hi, i forgot to add the form submitted. i believe this could be in ie,
but why? how can i prevent this from happening?
<form name="contact" method="POST" action="action.php"
enctype="multipart/form-data" id="contact" onSubmit="return
Validatecontact(this);">
using php 5.2.9 - believe the problem to be client browser side as
reported in other comments.

I am also experiencing loss of form fields, albeit randomly. is there
not a function to reload/refresh the data, i'm sure i've seen one albeit
deprecated.

I have the same problem!
sometimes, all post variables disappear although that I use a normal
form with normal text inputs & normal data size. no textareas and no
"multiform" tag in the form
php version : 5.1.6 apache webserver on Linux server.
I'm still unable to fix it!

Please ignore the above comments. changing the case did not fix the
problem. Its just irratic. it works some time, it does not work some
time. The problem with both post and get. I have a checkbox and submit
button in the form. If I do not check the checkbox and just submit the
button, it works but if I use check and enter submit, it does not work.
I moved the related part of the code from the big php file and tried to
isolate the problem. Surprisingly it works perfectly as a small file but
in the big php which has few more forms and tables, it does not work.

<?php
echo "<pre>";
echo "post is";
print_r($_POST);
echo "get is";
print_r($_GET);
echo "request is";
print_r($_REQUEST);
echo "let us check HTTP_POST_VARS";
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
echo "</pre>";
?>

I was facing the same problem. I had a html form with php scripts in
which I was submitting radio buttons or checkboxes. When I post the
form, PHP was not finding any post parameters. it was random, some time
it was working and some time not. Even I tried with Get, it worked some
time and some time not. Then I change ENCTYPE from uppercase to
lowercase and it started working prefectly
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="ManageMapping.php"
method="POST">

Regarding the enctype="multipart/form-data" not populating the $_POST
vars I found my solution was to disable the Suhosin security module.
Have a go!
