No. an included file will still have access to $_POST

Byron Whitlock 2009-10-06 21:40:17

-1 $_POST is still available no matter how many include()s you do.

Nope, not even www.root.com/welcome/index.php acknowledges the POST information, not even before I include anything.

Answer 2

A:

Try this. This will allow you to have one page as your template. Setup all your other pages including your template to them. Then allow you to do POST within the pages.

File: _design.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include $file; ?>
</body>
</html>

File: index.php

<?php
$file = 'pg/index.php'; // this gets content
include $file;
?>

File: pg/index.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST)){
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';
}
?>
<form action="?" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

Not sure I understood, but for what I can tell, that's what I've got right now :\

I have tested the above in centos with apache and windows with iis and it works for me. I agree with the person below; do you have any mod_rewrite setup? This could be killing the post.

David 2009-10-07 21:34:34

I do not and neither will my client's server have it :(

Answer 3

A:

I ran into a similar problem the other night with a friend who had setup PHP on his windows machine.

For some reason his simple form wasn't passing either post or get data through to his PHP script. There was nothing wrong with his code it was something to do with the PHP or Apache setup. After he installed Aptana and used it's internal server the form worked correctly.

Try testing a simple form first and make sure the _POST data is actually being picked up by PHP.

I'm on XAMPP. Unfortunately, I don't have the know how or the time to switch server software or configure this one.The _POST, however, is being picked up, but only when the the sender and the reciever are the same page.

Answer 4

A:

It sounds like something else is going on like a redirect somewhere - do you have any mod_rewrite rules in play that might be redirecting "path/" to "path" or anything like that? Firebug for Firefox will show any redirects in the NET tab.

Anyway, I would recommend that you drop this method and instead use a router to handle your requests. If you look at MicroMVC, CodeIgniter, or most other MVC frameworks you will find that they use a single index.php file which is passed a URL (/blog/read/45) and from there uses a routing file to know to load the "blog.php" file and call "read(45)" or (blog->read(45)).

Xeoncross 2009-10-06 23:41:07

There are no mod_rewrite rules. And yes, I guess I will have to drop this method for something else, although the idea was not having to rewrite my entire structure. I'll take a look to those frameworks.
