Re: Re: Authentication fails - problem line found

[John Swartzentruber <jswartzen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I stripped down my original script until it started receiving POST data, 
then I kept modifying it until I figured out where the problem was. I 
found it, but I'm still as clueless as every.

To summarize: I have a form that posts to the same script that contains 
the form. In its original state, when the script is called after I 
submit the form data, the $_POST[] data is completely empty and the 
_SERVER variable that indicates the type of data is set to "GET".

In the script is the following code:

if (IsSet($_POST["action"])) {
//    $action = $_POST["action"];
} else {
    $action = $_GET["action"];
}


Normally the second line is not commented. When I comment out that line, 
then the $_POST array has all of the data I would expect it to. When it 
is not commented, then it does not work.

Just to make sure that I am really confused, this bit of code is *after* 
the call to var_dump($_POST), but *before* the code that creates the form.

Does anyone have any ideas about why setting this variable has such a 
large and seemingly unrelated affect?
