Hi, Ive got an odd situation. Ive been developing a new page / section to my website (PHP / PHP Smarty templates) A week ago, it was working fine for this particular script, But today when i revisit it, there's NO $_POST values being received by the script at all. Other scripts in the same directory, work fine. Ive created a sub-directory and moved the scripts (included files & main script for the one I'm working on) into the subdirectory and still no $_POST values. The top of my script looks like this (no other information or processing) error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE); echo "<pre>1\n".print_r($_POST,true)."</pre>\n"; RESULT = a blank/empty array. Other scripts in the directory (now parent directory) work fine. Does anyone have ideas on what may be preventing the POST values ? PS the htaccess file only contains 2 lines :- RewriteEngine on DirectoryIndex provisional.php QUESTION 2:- Are there any instructions on how to use this php forum ? I'm getting NO information at the footer of these messages - archive ? how to change settings etc ? -- Gordon.
