The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't push data to PHP correctly with MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP from VBA

Asked by lucidity_99 in Extensible Markup Language (XML), PHP Scripting Language, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , ,

Hi!

I'm trying to push some data to a PHP script on a Linux box from VBA.

The code runs fine and appears to push everything to the server correctly.  However, on the server side, the PHP $_POST variable is empty, as is $_REQUEST, $_SERVER['HTTP_RAW_POSTDATA'], etc.

The only way I can currently see what is being transmitted is with file_get_contents('php://input'), which is no good.

I think it has something to do with Unicode/UTF-8 encoding, but I'm at a loss.  I found the URLEncode() function on the internet and using that allowed me to at least see the data in php://input, but I can't get any further.

Any help would be much appreciated!Start Free Trial
