Empty post data when insert % or `in the html form - tiana russell - 02-19-2016

Hi ,
i really need help with my website built with codeinigter

1/ i have an html form , methode="post" with a textarea 
    
2/ the problem is that, when the text that i put in the textarea contains %  or ` , the post data is empty when i check it in the controller 

var-dump($_POST)   ----> array(0) {  }
and $this->input->post is NULL


3/ in my local computer it doesn't do that error , even i when i copy and paste the text from word 
but it's online the problem , when i put % or ` in the textarea  , post data is always empty


4/ i think that codeinigter does something in background ( security or something else ... ) i really don't know

could you help me on  this problem please ?

I did some internet research but only found a suggestion that it might be an Apache security feature, however, that would apply to textboxes as well, and you say it only happens in textareas?

Hi,

thank you for your answer !

You are right ! the <input type="text"  >    are also concerned , when i put % inside one of them , it also create the error !

So you say it's about security ! ok , thank you , i'll make a research in this way !
