As you know (well, or not everyone knows, I don’t know), when trying to send the number 0 or a string consisting of zeros via POST to PHP, we will not receive anything on the server side, because anything == FALSE in post is truncated.
But this is very necessary!
Who solves this problem?

Parse your host. Maybe you are using a framework that runs all the data through empty and removes, in his opinion, unnecessary.
PHP doesn't do that.

The first time I've heard. var_dump($_POST) what's going on?

I'm sorry, of course, but nonsense.

don't use the stupid
if ($_POST["x"]) construct...
and you'll be happy if you
stepped on this rake yourself :)

Using this method is not justified in your case, but, for general development:
file_get_contents( 'php://input' )
- will return the entire POST as it is. If the POST contains form data, then parse_str() can be used next.
But, in answer to your question, I join the opinion that the problem is not created by PHP, but by you. :)

if(0==false) - true.
if(0===false) - not true. No?
