post requests
Frank and Jim are onto something. Remember when we talked about the server
decoding the POST data from your request? Once the server opens up the POST
request data, it doesn’t know what type of data it should expect... and servers really
don’t like mysteries. Let’s take a look, and see what happens with the POST data:
The mysterious POST data
<?php
require(‘lib.php’);
function go() {
$myVar = ...
return ...
}
?>
Break Neck server
placeOrder.php
placeOrder.php
?
The server has no idea what
type of data is in this
POST request... is it an
image? text? XML?
Since the server doesn’t know what
kind of data it has, it doesn’t know
how to pass that information on to
the placeOrder.php script.
