1. Check with a simple form.
2. Post example code.
3. Did you change webserver settings?
If you are using Apache httpd, there's at least 3 ways to activate PHP, which one
did you choose?

Irrelevant, $_POST array is filled before your script started.

Set this in your virtual server configuration, and set it to more sensible
values than this.
php_admin_value error_reporting -1
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on
> echo "<pre>1\n".print_r($_POST,true)."</pre>\n";
> RESULT = a blank/empty array. Other scripts in the directory (now

Server misconfiguration or code mistake.
Test with a simple curl call
curl --form "name=value" http://localhost/yourscript.php
> PS the htaccess file only contains 2 lines :-
> RewriteEngine on
If you are not writing any rules, why enable it at all?
Not to mention, it is often useless and the problem can be resolved entirely
without it.

Just use a sane newsreader client.
