-----Original Message----- From: Alex Kirk I've got an Apache 2.2.3 server running PHP 5.2.6 on top of FreeBSD 6.2. It's worked quite well for over a year now. However, as of some time last night, phpBB broke; upon investigation, I realized that the problem was that $_POST was never getting populated, even on properly formed HTML forms.
Testing this to try to find the issue, I used the following script: <?php print "Testvar: " . $_POST['testvar'] . "<br/>\n"; ?> <form method="POST" action=http://www.newmars.com/test.php name=formname enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type=text name=testvar><br/> <input type=submit value=Submit><br/> </form> It works like a charm on a different machine with an essentially identical config (it's a newer version of FreeBSD, but that's about it); however, it never displays the contents of $_POST['testvar'] on the machine that suddenly quit functioning right last night. Meanwhile, the rest of PHP seems to be working fine, as the phpBB forum is accessible in a read-only fashion. I've searched all over, and done things like restarting Apache; checking phpinfo() for the POST data (it's not there on the broken server, but it is on the functional one); writting a quick Perl script that took POST input to verify that my browser was sending such data properly (it is); and scouring the Apache/PHP error logs. The worst part is, I didn't touch the config at all between when it worked and when it didn't. So now I'm at a total loss as to what could be causing this, or how I should go about troubleshooting... ============== Did you check the apache logs or the php error logs? How about disk space on the server location where it is storing it's temp files for the server? I've seen something similar when disk space was nil after some scripts ran amok.
