I'm getting this weird error when I try to send a certain string via POST to a PHP script hosted online.
This is the string I'm trying to send:
| Code: | | <b>character name cd</b> |
The string here that is causing the problem is the two letter "CD". Even if I sent it like this I'm still getting the "Not Acceptable" error.
or even this:
But if I send it like this (any character after CD except space) it goes thru:
What could be causing this error? My google-fu wasn't enough for this.
I'm testing this via simple HTML form and posting it to the PHP file that would output the value, here's the HTML code for the form:
| Code: | <form action="http://linkhere.com/accept.php" method="POST" name="acceptme" enctype="multipart/form-data" accept-charset="UTF-8" >
<p>Test:</p>
<textarea id="testvalue" name="testvalue" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea><br />
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit1" name="submit1">
</form> |
The PHP side has a simple script that accepts the posted value then display it:
| Code: | <?php
$str = file_get_contents("php://input");
echo $str;
?> |
Other info that might help find out the main cause of the problem:
* Shared hosting
* mod_security is disabled
* Nothing on the Apache error_log file
* Apache/2.2.21
Any idea? |

The issue is that you use php://input. That is only to use form the command line. In your case use $_POST['testvalue'] Don't forget to escape the content of $_POST['testvalue'] with mysql_espace_string  |
