Re: HTTPS problem

We think we have found a fix to the problem

We had a form that passed through loads of data in a form.

The form is encrypted in HTTPS:// mode as we ask for credit card
information. The form submits to itself then redirects to a thankyou page.

When the minimum amount of fields were completed, all worked fine. When
every form field was filled, errors occurred. After reading an update from
Microsoft, we had a try at changing the form from POST to GET and replacing
all $_GET / $HTTP_GET_VARS to $_POST / $HTTP_POST_VARS .

It all seems to work ok and with no issues of security. The  get variables
are not in the address bar and the form is successfully sent.

HTH anyone who has been pulling hair out for the past few ws

Thanks Rob will check it out....

Further to the article.  It may be an IE problem but that doesn't help with
our clients, we cant get them to patch IE.  We really need a server side
solution.  We are upgrading PHP to 4.3.4 early next w we hope this helps.

Cheers
