I'm developing some simple forms that are embedded in WordPress pages using the exec-php plugin. I'm finding that when I submit the form with empty values, the $_REQUEST variable appears to make it through to the page code when the page reloads. However, as soon as I enter values into the form, $_REQUEST is empty as soon as it reaches the page. What the hell is going on?
The form is using the POST method, and I've tested $_POST as well. Same behavior. If all I do is click the submit button, $_POST goes through with all the empty values, $_POST['SubmitButtonName'] is set, but if I actually fill values into the form, nada. I've successfully done this in the past, so I'm totally stumped as to why it's suddenly a problem. I've been searching high and low for information on this and so far have not found this precise problem discussed. Anyone else seen this?
