表单数据未发送到POST

Question

This is ridiculous. My problem is as per the title. Trying to var_dump or print_r the $_POST superglobal yields an empty array.

Take a look at my form:

<form method="post" action="" class="login">
    <fieldset>
        <dl>
            <dt><label for="loginEmail">Email</label></dt>
            <dd><input type="email" id="loginEmail" name="loginEmail" maxLength="32" /></dd>

            <dt><label for="loginPassword">Password</label></dt>
            <dd><input type="password" id="loginPassword" name="loginPassword" maxlength="64" /></dd>

            <dt></dt>
            <dd><input type="submit" value="submit" class="button" /></dd>
        </dl>
    </fieldset>
</form>

I don't see anything wrong with it. The name attribute is intact, and I'm posting to the same page, yet POST continues to be empty. It's worth noting I have another form on another page with similar syntax which works.

For example:

if (!empty($_POST)) {
  echo '42';
}

Does not run.

Any ideas?

Your form is pointing nowhere.. If you expect it to be the same page, then specify,

<form action="{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}">

which will render the same page, but send the parameters. if you have a handler script somewhere, then specify the relative url.
