Apache or php is losing my post parameter

Question

a very strange issue: I've set up a development server with vagrant. After debugging I found out, that the $_POST array of php is always empty.

So I reset everything and tried the following script on my local, vagrant set up, development server and my live server to ensure it works fine:

<?php
    var_dump($_POST);
    var_dump($_GET);
    var_dump($_REQUEST);
    phpinfo();
?>
<html>
    <body>
        <form method="POST">
            <input type="submit" name="submitbutton" value="submitbuttonvalue" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

On my local machine the $_POST array is empty after submission, on the live server it isn't.

So I disabled shared folders and this fance stuff and tried all network interfaces of the VM but it didn't work. Here is my phpinfo output.

Can I check where it is lost? The content length of the header varies, when I change the post parameters. I deleted any htaccess file, so there is no redirect.

Thanks a lot

don't you think 10 bytes is bit too restrictive on post limit? – bansi Sep 23 '14 at 10:26
Yeah, the definition in php.ini was wrong. (10MB, not 10M) Sorry, I tried to accept my answer to close this question, but I am not allowed to do it. – fvosberg Sep 23 '14 at 10:38

I guess the error says that you have exceeded limit , there are probably too many post in your form. Adjust your php.ini settings or removed unsed post in the form.

I think this link will be helpful for you.
