php - method="post" enctype="text/plain" are not compatible? -

when use

<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="proc.php">  

form data can not sent proc.php file properly. why? problem? why can't use text/plain encoding post can use method?

[revised]

the answer is, because php doesn't handle (and not bug):

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33741

valid values enctype in <form> tag are:  application/x-www-form-urlencoded multipart/form-data 

the first default, second 1 need when upload files.

@alohci provided explanation why php doesn't populate $_post array, store value inside variable $http_raw_post_data.

example of can go wrong text/plain enctype:

file1.php:

<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="file2.php"> <textarea name="input1">abc input2=def</textarea> <input name="input2" value="ghi" /> <input type="submit"> </form> 

file2.php:

<?php print($http_raw_post_data); ?> 

result:

input1=abc input2=def input2=ghi 

no way distinguish value of input1 , input2 variables. can be

• input1=abc\r\ninput2=def, input2=ghi, as
• input1=abc, input2=def\r\ninput2=ghi

no such problem when using other 2 encodings mentioned before.

the difference between , post:

• in get, variables part of url , present in url query string, therefore must url-encoded (and are, if write enctype="text/plain" - gets ignored browser; can test using wireshark sniff request packets),
• when sending post, variables not part of url, sent last header in http request (postdata), , can choose whether want send them text/plain or application/x-www-form-urlencoded, second 1 non-ambiguous solution.
