$_POST in php 5.3.5 does not work

Question

I\'m working on a page in PHP 5.3.5, and it seems that $_POST doesn\'t contain the data submitted from my form.

This is the HTML file :

Answer 1

Is your HTML form method se to to POST?

<form method="post" action="process.php">
<fieldset><legend>your data</legend>
<input type="text" name="txtname" id="id_name" />
<input type="text" name="txtage" id="id_age" />
</fieldset>
<button type="submit">OK</button>
</form>

Answer 2

I also had the same problem.I used windows notepad for editing .php file and accidentally saved the file in Unicode encoding and that was creating the problem. Then I saved it in the UTF-8 encoding, and it worked like a charm. Hope this might help.

Answer 3

Have you check your php.ini ?
I broken my post method once that I set post_max_size the same with upload_max_filesize.

I think that post_max_size must less than upload_max_filesize.
