POST or GET

[gchen]

Is it true Apache log will have complete params list if the form method is GET while no parms being logged if the method used is POST.

Or it has to do with Apache log configuration?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi

More exactly, the parameters are not logged. Only the requested URL is logged.

See what Apache can write in a log file :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats

I would simply write a small function in that server side script which receives the POST request to write it in a separate file.

Hi Feherke,

I checked the link you provided for Apache log config and I found...

%...q The query string (prepended with a ? if a query string exists, otherwise an empty string)

This is what I need but I just not sure should I use POST or GET in my form. Any idea?

Thanks!

GET is the method which puts the variables in the URL.
