Losing POST form variables

I'm using POST form for some customer info and when I submit it (SSL enabled) and have a php script print out the result, 1 out of 20 times the form variables does not get printed. Basically the form variables are lost. Have anyone seen this happen before? Or maybe this isn't a php issue and more of a server issue? Thanks.

Sounds odd

I've never had it happen to me before... perhaps someone else has an answer for you. Good luck!

Hi bitao;
This is indeed an odd problem, but my guess (notice its a guess, not 100% sure) is that its either a server problem or a client problem. I don't think PHP actually moves the POST data anywhere, the server does, PHP simply recieves it and processes it (it does not send it, the browser does).
Anyway, I searched on the net a little, and I found a link to another forum (I think this is ok, since I didnt see any rules against it), here it is:

Are you using IE, because it seems that other people are having trouble too, here's another useful link:
