Question 98429 in Nginx Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

php post request is empty when posting to url with nginx and switch router

So nginx send all the request of the site to the index.php

location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

So when I send mine post request to the /login-post as a post request and try to get the post data. The array is always empty and I dont understand what I am missing cause Im posting towards the correct URL? but the post data is not there?

the Form:

<form class="form-signin text-center" action="/login-post" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" style="max-width: 400px">
    <h1 class="h3 mb-3 font-weight-normal">Please sign in</h1>
    <input type="email" id="inputEmail" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" required autofocus>
    <input type="password" id="inputPassword" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>

    <div style="width: 100%; display: flex; align-content: end; flex-direction: row-reverse;">
    <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" style="width: 100px" type="submit">Sign in</button>
    </div>
    <p class="mt-5 mb-3 text-muted">&copy; 2017-2018</p>
</form>

the php code that should log the post data from (index.php)

$request = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $request;

switch ($request) {
    case '/' :
        (new HomeController)->index(); // this works
        break;
    case '/login' :
        (new LoginController())->index(); // this works
        break;
    case '/login-post':
        print_r($_POST); <---- this is always empty
        break;
    default:
        http_response_code(404);
        echo "404";
        break;
}

I dont see whats going wrong? or why I cant see the post data.

    Your POST is empty, because your <input>s do not have the name='' attribute

    I had the same issue and I could perform a good solution, the problem is related with the htaccess configuration, so lets try adding this in it

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|POST|PROPFIND|PUT) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

    It will allow you to preserve the information that you send thru a form

    If it does not work please try to change the whole htaccess for something like this

    RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|POST|PROPFIND|PUT) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [QSA,L]

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
