[Markus Schwaab]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Linux 2.4.18-4GB i686) Opera 6.0  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I have a database and made a Formular ( some input texts, 1 submit-button 
and 1 reset-button).
With <form action="<?print $PHP_SELF ?>" I read the submitted data into a 
variable. But the Variable never get the data.
I testet the same page with MS-IExplorer 5.5, Linux-Opera6.0 and Konqueror 
3.0.
It works with all of these Browsers.

Here the code for help:

--snip--
  <form method = "post" action = "<? print $PHP_SELF?>">
  <center>
  <table>
   <tr>
     <td> Anrede: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="anrede" size=25> </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td> Vorname: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="vorname" size=25> </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td> Nachname: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="nachname" size=25> </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td> Strasse: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="strasse" size=25> </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td> PLZ: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="plz" size=25> </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td> Ort: </td>
     <td> <input type="text" name="ort" size=25> </td>
   </tr>

   <tr>
     <td> <input type="submit" name="datenlos"> </td>
     <td align="right"> <input type="reset" value="L&ouml;schen"> </td>
   </tr>
  </table>

Is there a publicly visible testcase?

If not, please attach the HTML the PHP outputs using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=166873&action=enter

Comment 2

[Markus Schwaab]

Attachment: The PHP-Script

This is the PHP/HTML-Code which causes the problem

Comment 3

[Markus Schwaab]

Attachment: Extended information about generated html-output and table-structure

Describes the content and structure of the table table where php should write
the data written in the Web-Formular.
Additional I appent the generated htmloutput from PHP

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

So the data should be posted to "/input_anschriften2_bugfixing.php"?

Comment 5

[Markus Schwaab]

Yes, after click submit php generate variables with the name of each input type.
value="name" become $name. The content of the input type become the content of
the variable $name.
$PHP_SELF sends data from the html area to the PHP area in the same document.

What happens if you remove the space between the quote (") and <? $PHP_SELF > ?
 The output you showed has an extra space.  It really shouldn't matter but I
don't see why else it would fail.

So the screen refreshes?  Try something else for me, change method="post" to
method="get" and tell me whether the URL in the URL bar changes.  If it does
change, could you please show what the URL looks like on Internet Explorer vs.
Mozilla?

Comment 7

[Markus Schwaab]

It`s crazy. I deleted all the spaces after "action =". Now it works !!!!
But then I undone deleting the spaces and it works anyhow.
I restarted my Workstation !.It worked anyhow.
Believe me. I don`t want to make a joke with you.

Greetings
             Markus

The above testcase shows the error I *thought* was happening, but evidently it
was not.  Markus, can you show us the outputted HTML before and after you made
that change?

Comment 10

[Kenneth Herron]

Markus, are you still having a problem with this?

This report seems to be about a problem with PHP, not a problem with mozilla.
You understand that mozilla is dealing with the HTML output produced by the PHP
script. If you think mozilla is mishandling something, you need to provide the
HTML that mozilla is mishandling, not the PHP source code that produces the HTML.

Comment 11

[Markus Schwaab]

Ok, I think so too. It is a little bit crazy. I got the problem fixed when I 
was playing a little with my php options. The misterious thing is, that IE 5.5 
made no problems. 

Comment 12

[Kenneth Herron]

Resolving based on the reporter's comment. Thanks for the update, Markus!

Comment 13

[Markus Schwaab]

Ok, thank you for your engagement bringing mozilla less of bugs. I will 
recommend mozilla to everyone I support with IT-Services as the browser of 
choice.
