I have tested the link you gave me, and it works OK untill I
enter <html> into the textarea. I get a 400 error as well:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not
understand.
Apache/2.2.0 (Solaris) Server at eagles.its.csulb.edu Port 80
Using the Tidy extension with Firefox 2 on my machine tells
me that the DOCTYPE is missing. So I added that to my local
copy like so:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
<head>
...
As you said the script works OK on PHP 4. I would try
downgrading to PHP 5.2.4 and see if that cures the problem.

Keith,
I get the exact same result. Take a look at this URL:
http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/~jsantana/PostTest2.php
This is the code you sent me. It works with plain text but if I submit
<html>, I get the 400 error I mentioned in my original posting.

Re: Interesting POST error
Is this what you are looking for Jesse:
<html>
<head>
<title>Wiki Text Tester</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Contents of \$_POST array: <br />";
while (list($key, $value) = each($_POST))
{
echo "$key: $value <br />";
}
?>
<br />
<form method="post" action="" accept-charset="utf-8">
<textarea name="wikitext" cols="80" rows="10">
<?php echo $_POST['wikitext'] ?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The above also works with <html> or html in the text area.
I tried your code on my machine but it was doing strange
things to the URL for the page.

Subject: Interesting POST error
One of our developers has brought an interesting problem to my
attention.
I'll start off by describing our environment. We are running a Solaris
10
server with Apache 2.2.6. PHP version 5.2.5 is loaded as a module and
appears to be working fine. However, our developer ran into a problem
using dokuwiki. When he submits a form with a <html> tag in it, he
receives a 400 error. He threw together this little script to verify
the
problem:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo sprintf("%s", $_POST['wikitext']);
?>
<br />
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"
accept-charset="utf-8">
<textarea name="wikitext" style="height: 300px;" cols="80"
rows="10"></textarea>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This can be viewed here: http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/php/PostTest.php
As you can see, the script does nothing more than take what is submitted
and display it on the screen. However, if you type in <html> then click
on the Submit Query button, you will get a 400 error.
Does anyone know why this is occurring? Am I looking at some php.ini
parameter change to fix this?
