$_POST variable is missing

Question

I'm losing one variable when i do a POST submit to a php script (example: http://kidspc.com.mx/kidspc2/prueba_get_post.htm).

I think, there is a parameter in php.ini or httpd.conf that is causing apache block this variable, but i don't know what to search.

I try the solution in this post PHP some $_POST values missing but are present in php://input but the variable still disappear.

is there an apache o php parameter that could cause this? how i can solve this?

EDIT: Sorry i add the name attribute to the textbox and it's working. please check this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11888825/post-variable-with-large-value-disappears

Apache doesn't 'block' PHP varaibles. If _POST is empty, then PHP didn't receive anything to put into _POST. — Marc B, Aug 09 '12 at 14:39
@Marc: Apache itself doesn't, but a "security" module could very well alter the request, keeping certain keys or values from making it through to the script. Course, such a module would be pretty annoying on a shared host, and if it were on a private server the admin should know about it. — cHao, Aug 09 '12 at 17:42

Give your textarea a name attribute.

Your textarea does not have anything in the name='someName' field. You need to name it something for it to be sent.

You had forgot to set a name to the textarea. A form input without a name will not get posted via HTTP.

<textarea name="some_var_name"></textarea>
