GET 有效但 POST 在 PHPStorm 中无效

Question

I have a simple HTML form:

 <form class="form-signin" action="formHandler.php" method="post">
                        <h2 class="form-signin-heading">Login</h2>
                        </br>
                        </br>
                        <label for="inputUsername" class="sr-only">Benutzername</label>
                        <input type="inputUsername" name="inputUsername" id="inputUsername" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" required autofocus>
                        <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label>
                        <input type="password" name="inputPassword" id="inputPassword" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>
                        </br>
                        <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Sign in</button>
                        <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="clear">Clear</button>
                    </form>

which I send to the following PHP script:

var_dump($_POST);
var_dump($_GET);

When I use GET, my variables get passed correctly. However, when I use post (as in the example) var_dump($_POST) returns an empty array.

After extensive searching, I found out that the issue is rooted in PHPStorm's local environment. The POST request works fine when the site is deployed to a local Apache environment or when uploaded to a website.

The problem is documented on IntelliJ website:

POST Problem with PHPStorm 10.02 and onwards
