We don't support PHP 4 anymore and we never supported patched PHP (like
with Suhosin).
Please try again with a recent PHP version, unpatched.

Had the same problem (the submited data was truncated) and fixed it by
editing the suhosin.ini file, something like this(uncommented some lines
and increased the values):
; Filtering Options
;suhosin.filter.action =
;suhosin.cookie.max_array_depth = 100
;suhosin.cookie.max_array_index_length = 64
;suhosin.cookie.max_name_length = 64
;suhosin.cookie.max_totalname_length = 256
;suhosin.cookie.max_value_length = 10000
;suhosin.cookie.max_vars = 100
;suhosin.cookie.disallow_nul = on
suhosin.get.max_array_depth = 150
suhosin.get.max_array_index_length = 164
suhosin.get.max_name_length = 164
suhosin.get.max_totalname_length = 512
suhosin.get.max_value_length = 1024
suhosin.get.max_vars = 500
suhosin.get.disallow_nul = on
suhosin.post.max_array_depth = 500
suhosin.post.max_array_index_length = 1024
suhosin.post.max_name_length = 164
suhosin.post.max_totalname_length = 1256
suhosin.post.max_value_length = 650000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 1200
suhosin.post.disallow_nul = on
suhosin.request.max_array_depth = 500
suhosin.request.max_array_index_length = 1024
suhosin.request.max_totalname_length = 1256
suhosin.request.max_value_length = 650000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 1200
suhosin.request.max_varname_length = 164
suhosin.request.disallow_nul = on
;suhosin.upload.max_uploads = 25
;suhosin.upload.disallow_elf = on
;suhosin.upload.disallow_binary = off
;suhosin.upload.remove_binary = off
;suhosin.upload.verification_script =

Same problem here - $_POST is randomly incomplete or empty.
I have only seen this with IE - from version 6 to 8.
tcpdump shows a bit more of the story:
user sends:
POST /bla.php?id=bla
...
Content-Length: 80
but there is no data in that packet.
A bit later Apache reaches timeout, and closes the connection. At this
point it send a 503 error to the user, but executes PHP with the
incomplete post.
After the user received the 503 error - the browser actually sends a
packet with the missing post data. Strange and clearly a browser bug. It
should be noted that the post is so small that there is plenty of room
in the first packet.
Now - the strange part is - why is PHP being executed? And why is PHP
allowing it self to be executed. Content-Length is clearly invalid, and
the conntection is closed (and PHP is setup to ignore aborted requests
(ignore_user_abort is off).

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!
