Getting no $_POST data (PHP 7.1/Debian 8) LAMP problems

Question

I have a script coded, I coded it at xampp and it was working. So its at localhost working but I tried to setup this server at Ubuntu, Debian, nothing worked.

Its like that:

index.php:

switch ($_GET["page"]) {
case ("firstpage"):
  include ("firstpage.php");

  break;

case ("secondpage"):
print_r($_POST);
  break;

index.php?page=firstpage / better said firstpage.php

<form action="index.php?page=secondpage" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="test1">
<input type="submit">
</form>

and if I do this with my virtual server (Debian 8, LAMP installed, PHP 7.1, apache2 Header modules activated) then there is a empty array.

If I do it via xampp (Mac OS X) their is then the output coming..

What is the problem? Somebody can help me via TeamViewer or something like that?

Thanks

You can try a workaround. Instead passing your number page in the url, you can send it throught a hidden button.

index.php

if(isset($_POST['page'])){
    if($_POST['page'] == 'firstpage'){
        include ("firstpage.php");
    }elseif($_POST['page'] == 'secondpage'){
        //second page
    }
}else{
//$_POST['page'] is missing
}

and the form

<form action="index.php" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="test1">
    <input type="hidden" name="page" value="secondpage">
    <input type="submit">
</form>
