Firefox displays blank page on submission

Post by cbalke »

Script URL: www.balkenet.com/family/GBOOK/index.htm
Version of script: 1.41
Version of PHP: 4.3.0
Hosting company: Westhost
Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: Yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: Firefox

Write your message below:

When users try to post to our guestbook using firefox, netscape(and i believe aol), they get a blank page. If they press reload or refresh and then confirm that they'd like to repost their data, their post does actually go through. Otherwise, if they don't press reload or refresh, no luck.

Is this a function of the settings I may have in the script, or do you think it could be a function of php that I have installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

--Normally, I wouldn't even put this much effort into finding a fix, I'd just find new software. BUT, I love this guestbook so much that I really want it to work. Thanks and KUDOS to you guys for an almost perfect piece of software.-- :)

****NOTE - when testing it, I find that my first post in Firefox ~sometimes~ goes through ok, but any subsequent posts after that do not.****

/* This part will help prevent multiple submissions */
if ($settings['one_per_session'] && $_SESSION['add'])
{
problem('You may only submit this guestbook once per session!',0);
}


just found this around line 588 in gbook.php. do you think this could be the culprit?

SOLVED!

It was my version of php. Upgraded to 5.1.2(or whatever the newest available on my server is) and everything worked great. I was nervous as heck doing that, though, cause there were all kinds of dependent programs, etc that I had to uninstall first. I'm glad it worked!

Now, KUDOS to you all for a PERFECT piece of software! :D
