brunodebarros/fix-php-post-input fixes your $_POST and $_FILES if they're empty and they shouldn't be.
Why? Some incorrectly setup servers will not pass the right information required for PHP to automatically process input data (e.g. they'll say the HTTP method was GET because of an internal redirect).
For apps where you control the environment, this is easy to resolve. For self-hosted apps, that anyone can install anywhere, it's important to make sure that things continue to work without having to ask less tech-savvy users to mess with their server configurations.
In those cases, this library will automatically fix the $_POST and $_FILES arrays for you so that you can continue working without having to worry about it.
As a bonus, it will also process JSON (application/json) input into $_POST for you.
- PHP 5.4 or HHVM
brunodebarros/fix-php-post-input loads automatically with Composer.
composer require brunodebarros/fix-php-post-input
Once required, the package will automatically fix your $_POST/$_FILES for you. If they don't need fixing, this package will do nothing.
