<html>
<head>
<title>Wiki Text Tester</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Contents of \$_POST array: <br />";
while (list($key, $value) = each($_POST))
{
echo "$key: $value <br />";
}
?>
<br />
<form method="post" action="" accept-charset="utf-8">
<textarea name="wikitext" cols="80" rows="10">
<?php echo $_POST['wikitext'] ?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The above also works with <html> or html in the text area.
I tried your code on my machine but it was doing strange
things to the URL for the page.

| Keith,
I get the exact same result. Take a look at this URL:
http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/~jsantana/PostTest2.php
This is the code you sent me. It works with plain text but if I submit
<html>, I get the 400 error I mentioned in my original posting.

| Keith,
Another interesting addition to all of this, both your code and my
developers original code work on our PHP v4 instance.

It might be a bug in PHP 5.2.5, as I had problems with that
version. I downgraded to 5.2.4 - that's what I used to test
my code on.
However the code you posted did not work for me on 5.2.4

| I have tested the link you gave me, and it works OK untill I
enter <html> into the textarea. I get a 400 error as well:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not
understand.
Apache/2.2.0 (Solaris) Server at eagles.its.csulb.edu Port 80
Using the Tidy extension with Firefox 2 on my machine tells
me that the DOCTYPE is missing. So I added that to my local
copy like so:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
....
As you said the script works OK on PHP 4. I would try
downgrading to PHP 5.2.4 and see if that cures the problem.
