I'm using:
Apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.3.1
Redhat Linux 8 with all patches etc from up2date.

Any scripts I try which use a POST to send data gathered from an HTML page
to a PHP script don't appear to pass the information on.

I have attached a couple of examples of the code I am trying to use:

1. access2.php is accessed and reads the contents of a file allowing me to
edit the contents within a textarea. When I click submit the parameter
'filecontents' should be passed to the next page writeaccess2.php via a
POST. writeaccess2.php should then write the contents of variable
$filecontents back to the file. I just end up with a blank file after
clicking submit which would indicate no parameter passed.

2. feedback.html is a feedback form which should mail me the details filled
out on the form. This time the text area is named 'comments' which is sent
to feedback.php also using a POST. I do receive an email but it's blank
with no name, Email or comments which would also imply once again that the
POST is not passing parameters.

Is there something I need to do within the Apache httpd.conf or php.ini to
allow the use of POST to pass parameters?

Thanks in advance I've been racking my brains on this one.
