[PHP] POST in Apache server
Hi all, I'm new in the php world and I have a problem. I want to invoke a php scr= ipt from a web page hosted on an Apache server. The php script writes and= deletes a file but, to be able to do that, I have to make the user to be= myself and not the Apache server. In order to do that below is the code = I use in the html to invoke the php script: form action=3Dhttp://www.aa.dd.cc/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/user/script.php; meth= od=3Dpost value1 *: input type=3Dtext name=3Dval1br value2 *: input type=3Dtext name =3D val2br /form where script.php is placed inside ~/user/public_html/cgi-bin The problem is that when the script is launched, as soon as the html in v= isited, I get this error: PHP Notice: Undefined index: val1 in /net/people/user/public_html/cgi-b= in/script.php on line 14 PHP Notice: Undefined index: val2 in /net/people/user/public_html/cgi-b= in/script.php on line 16 In other words, the POST issued inside the html seems not to work because= the values val1 and val2 are not found. If instead I do the following in the html code: form action=3Dscript.php method=3Dpost value1 *: input type=3Dtext name=3Dval1br value2 *: input type=3Dtext name =3D val2br /form having placed script.php in the same directory where the html is, the POS= T succeeds but of course the script is not able to delete the file it is = supposed to work on because the owner becomes the apache server. I need the first method (script.php inside cgi-bin) to work. Does anybody know the way to solve the problem? Any help will be appreciated, thanks, -emiliano -- Passa a Infostrada.

Well, in line 14, where you start using $_GET['val1'] or
$_POST['val1'] or $_REQUEST['val1'] without bothering to check if it
exists or not, put in a check to see if it exists before you try to
use it.
Something like:
?php
if (isset($_POST['val1']){
//do something with val1 now that we know it's here
}
//don't do anything with 'val1' cuz she's not there
?

Re: [PHP] POST in Apache server
oh ok, I understand that. However, my problem is different: I need those values
that instead are not found. The question is: why the POST in the chunck of code
inside the html doesn't work? Why is the php script not finding the values
posted in the html?
Thanks,

On your script page, add

and tell us the result.

The question is: why the POST in the chunck of code inside the html doesn't work? Why is the php script not finding the values posted in the html? It's hard to say without surfing to your site and trying it, and looking at the PHP source and HTML source. The most common answers, in order of usage, are: #1 You spelled the name=val1 and the $_POST['val1'] differently. Spelling counts. :-) #2 You don't understand the HTTP interaction, and are expecting it to do things in a way it just plain does not work. This is the hardest one to diganose and treat, as it's difficult to figure out what beginners THINK the web is doing, much less convince them that they're wrong. :-) The best solution here is to get Firefox, install the LiveHTTPHeaders extension to Firefox turn it on, visit a few simple/example sites that do what your site does to see how they work, and then visit your site to see what it does. #3 A distant third, but possible, cause, is various PHP settings such as GPC order and register_globals and that one about populating the long names can be different than one expects. Review your php.ini settings and search for GPC register_globals and, errr, long_name or long_var_name or something like that. -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

Re: [PHP] POST in Apache server
Hmmm... there's something wrong with the form sending its values.
Try
echo pre;
print_r($GLOBALS);
echo /pre;
