$_POST array is empty - RPicard - 05-31-2010
Hey everyone, haven't posted here in a while but I'm having an issue with PHP and figured this would be a good place to go.
I'm working on a custom script, specifically the messaging system, and I have the form to submit the message -
Code:
<form action="inc/msg/send.php" method="post">
<label>To:
<input type="text" name="to"></input>
</label><br><br>
<label>Subject:
<input type="text" name="subject"></input>
</label><br><br>
<label>Message:
<textarea name="message"></textarea></input>
</label><br><br>
<input type="submit"></input>
</form>- but when I access the $_POST array, the value for any array item is " ". It can be accessed via -
PHP Code:
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
- though. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I have literally never seen that file_get_contents method for returning a value. You're better off using $data = $_POST['']

I don't know why you're doing it that way, I too have never seen that used in any code. Just literally use $_POST...
RE: $_POST array is empty - RPicard - 05-31-2010
I am using $_POST, I just mentioned file_get_contents to show that the information is being passed. I actually got this fixed. There was an error with the function in another part of the process.
Thanks for responding.
