Description Luis R. Rodriguez 2003-06-15 15:18:43 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020623
Debian/1.2.5-0.woody.1

Description of problem:
When a variables is passed on PHP on Apache 2.0.40, the variable's value is not
set correctly. It may be a php bug, but I have been told that it just might be
an apache bug. To verify a script in perl can be written to use POST method
similar to the one on the URL posted.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.0.40-21.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1a. Install RH 8, 
It's a bug here too, if I remember correctly

1b. Install RH 8
2b. Use apt for rpms to upgrade to RH 9
Bug should occur still

1c. Install RH 9
Bug should occur

1d. Instal RH 8
2d. upgrade to RH  9
Bug should occur

1e. Install RH 8
2e. Upgrade to RH 9 through apt for rpms
Bug should still occur

1f. Install RH 8
2f. Upgrade to RH9 through apt for rpms
3f. Use up2date to upgrade system
Bug should still occur

Actual Results:  I get as output for the license variable:
"I acceptlicense=I accept"


Expected Results:  
Correct output should be
"I accept"

Additional info:

apache stable 2.0.46 is out. RH does not yet have that rpm available. I've asked
on irc.redhat.com about the bug on #apache and #php and no one was sure of the
bug. PHP people blamed apache. 

I'm noting it as with high priority since it ruins many POST method web apps and
there is no easy way out of it.

Comment 1 Luis R. Rodriguez 2003-06-16 15:29:38 UTC

The okuili.com server on which the test page was on is now down and that is
because I am installing Debian on it now. But, the test page/tarball is still
available at:
http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/test/reg.php

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2003-06-21 09:38:23 UTC

Have you added "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to your httpd.conf?  You
shouldn't add that for the PHP package in Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 9. This is
probably a duplicate of bug 82967.

Comment 3 Luis R. Rodriguez 2003-06-26 14:40:15 UTC

If I remember correctly, I did have that option set. If the other bug had that
as the main problem, then yes this is probably, 80% sure, a duplicate bug. 

Unfortunately, this was not obvious to the end user. I can't imagine the amount
of RH machines out there with the same setup.

Comment 4 Joe Orton 2003-06-26 14:57:00 UTC

Yes, a forthcoming erratum will allow PHP to work correctly even if that AddType
directive is configured.  I'll close this as a duplicate; thanks for submitting
 the report.
