So i did some debugging and quickly came to the conclusion the POST data array was empty after a submit of the form. That’s weird i thought. And didn’t really have a clue where to start looking. The code wasn’t touched for a couple of weeks. Bu then i remembered adding the forcing of the trailing slash.

So i browsed to the contact form and did a view source. And there was the problem. The form submitted to

/contact/verstuurd

A URL without a trailing slash. This causes apache to rewrite the url to

/contact/verstuurd/

And this also seems to turn the POST into a GET request.

So to fix it just changed to URL in the form to reflect the correct end point. But i have to say i didn’t expect this to happen. I understand why it happens. And it’s pretty logical. But i wonder if there’s a way around this behavior?
