unable to use the string "execute(" in GET or POST

php, security

Solution

You probably have mod_security installed in Apache.

Problem

If I use the URL www.mysite.com/?test=execute( the $_GET array will always be emtpy. I noticed this when trying to submit a form with the string "execute(" in, it would not submit. This includes POST and GET, it does not accept the string "execute(". Is this security feature on the server as it works fine on my local computer?
