WampServer

Hi,

Yesterday I downloaded and installed WAMP on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. The only problem I had when installing it and getting it to work originally was that it wouldn't go from orange to green. Skype was locking this and the green icon came on after.

The installation was by default (WAMP chose the installation directory). In the document root I created a new directory with a HTML file and PHP file. The PHP file was suppose to just "print_r($_POST)" but the output was always an empty array.

I tried the same code on my webhost and it was working correctly.

Please can someone advise how to debug further?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry I have to ask this.


Did the php script that just prints "print_r($_POST)" actually have a form in it that would have returned a $_POST?

ie `method="POST"`

and some actual `<input...>` fields?

Did you just enter its url into the browser, or did you press a submit button?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes the form had an action to the script which had the print_r($_POST). It had two text input fields which I entered values for and I was using a submit button on the form.

Thanks.
