HTTP submit pdf form to PHP script

I have a simple test html form at http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.html



It use the POST method to send a name to a php script that prints the input data in the $_POST array and from the raw input data



$data = $_POST['name'];
print "\$_POST: $data";
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
print "Raw Input: $data";
?>



And I have a test pdf form that uses a HTTP Submit button - it also calls the php script http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.pdf



Using 'Robert' as the test name the output from the test html form is



$_POST: Robert

Raw Input: name=Robert



The Output from the test pdf form is



$_POST:

Raw Input: %00f%00o%00r%00m%001%00%5b%000%00%5d%00.%00%23%00s%00u%00b%00f%00o%00r%00m%00%5b%000%00%5d%00.%00n%00a%00m%00e%00%5b%000%00%5d=%00R%00o%00b%00e%00r%00t



I thought the Adobe Form was suppose to send standard URL-encoded data using the POST method the same as the html form.



Where have I made my mistake?

Can someone point me to a PHP script that processes a pdf form?

Hi,



Try with a ordinary button and make it a submit button.
