The php2.php code looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>ESP8266 Post</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
{
$r=$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
echo "REQUEST METHOD $r<br>\n";
$x=print_r($_REQUEST,true);
$msg="NOT SET";
if(isset($_REQUEST['msg'])) {
$msg= $_REQUEST['msg'];
}
echo "REQUEST DUMP $x<br>\n";
echo "MSG $msg<br>\n";
$myvar = "Test Post";
echo "TEST $myvar<br>\n";
}
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The output in the /dev/ttyUSB0 serial console looks like
200
<html>
<head>
<title>ESP8266 Post</title>
</head>
<body>
REQUEST METHOD POST<br>
REQUEST DUMP Array
(

<br>

Any suggestions would be gladly received. I'll point you to the actual "myserver" in a pm if anyone want's to help.
Thanks,
Jim.
