    <p>I am submitting from a form to another php page which is supposed to process it. The problem is that the $_POST is often empty when I try to read it.</p> <p>This is the form: </p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Order Form&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form id="mailorder" name="mailorder" action="mailordertest.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="A212-M" value="1" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="A212-XXXL" value="2" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="A212-XXL" value="3" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="A212-XL" value="4" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Confirm Order"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this is the processing page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php session_start(); error_reporting(E_ALL); print_r($_POST); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This will usually output nothing but Array (), but sometimes the data will come through first time. When the $_POST is empty, I can hit Back and then resubmit and after a few tries, it will work.</p> <p>I have inspected the whole shebang with FireBug and it seems that the $_POST is getting cleared because the processing page does a 302 redirect back to itself (that obviously uses a GET, and so the POST data is discarded).</p> <p>I have googled this to death, but none of the answers I have found have been any help. The following are NOT the problem: 1. post_max_size is set to 8M (not MB) 2. There is no CONTENT_TYPE issue</p> <p>Other PHP apps are working fine on the server (Wordpress etc), and I am using PHP 5.2.9.</p> <p>I am totally stumped on this one - so thanks for ANY ideas and help!</p> <p>Edit: I should also mention that I have tried various methods of disabling caching with no success either.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
