I have no knowledge of such PHP restriction. I suspect the problem is
something else.

Make sure you have included tags like <form method="POST"
action="http://www.domain.com/full_form_processing_script_url.php";>
</form> .

Some people insist on making everything XHTML compliant just they assume
that otherwise it would not be "Web standards" compliant. That is a
silly claim that only leads to all sorts of problems.

For instance, if you use method="post" because XHTML specification says
everything should be in lower case, you will have problems with some
browsers and e-mail programs that only accept POST in upper case and
fallback to GET when they find something else.

Also, keep in mind that you can't use Javascript in HTML e-mail messages.

These may not be your actual problems, but at least you have something
to start checking.
