[SOLVED] Big problem.

[xyn]

Ok guys, ive posted here but i really dont know where to post this.

 

Basically I am running an ajax script to save user preferences.

 

Internet explorer 6, on windows XP, SP2. it works.

Internet explorer 7, on windows XP, SP2. it works.

Firefox, on windows XP, SP2. again it works.

 

However, IE 6, IE7 and FF on Vista, doesnt work.

 

I dont know if its vista, or if there are settings in vista,

maybe my ajax code is not compatable, (no javascript errors are returned in IE or FF)

is my php being returned the wrong values? or is my PHP code wrong...

 

The JS (AJAX START):

function requestXML(){
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
var r =new XMLHttpRequest();
}else if(window.ActiveXObject){
var r =new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}return r;
}
var fp =requestXML();

 

the function i run:

function saveSettings(){
var date =new Date();
var pmSystem =((document.getElementById('PMSystem').checked)?'Y':'N');
var pmAllow =((document.getElementById('PMAllow').checked)?'Y':'N');
var pmNotify =((document.getElementById('PMNotify').checked)?'Y':'N');
var BadLangFilter =((document.getElementById('BadLang').checked)?'Y':'N');
fp.open('get','/inc/ajax/save_settings.php?t='+date.getTime());
fp.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
fp.onreadystatechange =function(){
if(fp.readyState ==4 &&fp.status ==200){
collectSettings();
alert('Your account settings have been updated, and will take an immediate effect.');
}
};
fp.send(encodeURI('&pm_system='+pmSystem+'&pm_allow='+pmAllow+'&pm_notify='+pmNotify+'&bfilter='+BadLangFilter));
}

 

(forgot the php)

<?
require_once "../../inc/headers.inc.php";
if($_SESSION['sessionName']){
mysql_query("update `accounts_settings` set `pm_system` ='".(($_POST['pm_system'] =='Y')?'Y':'N')."', `pm_allow` ='".(($_POST['pm_allow'] =='Y')?'F':'A')."', `pm_notify` ='".(($_POST['pm_notify'] =='Y')?'Y':'N')."', `language_filter` ='".(($_POST['bfilter'] =='Y')?'Y':'N')."' where `user_id` ='{$_SESSION['userID']}'");
}
?>

Is Javascript on in your Vista browser?  Is there some stupid ass security setting that Microsoft has on to try and "protect you"?  Check those first.

nope, i found out its the object.

 

My new object i just created is this..., however with this function, It doesnt work on XP or vista.

 

function GetHttpRequestObject(){
var new_request;
var A; //debug
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
	new_request =new XMLHttpRequest();
	A ='yes_1';
}else if(window.ActiveXObject){
	try{
		new_request =new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
		A ='yes_2';
	}
	catch(e){
		try{
			new_request =new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
			A ='yes_3';
		}
		catch(e){
			new_request =null;
			A ='no_';
		}
	}
}
alert(A);
return new_request;
}

I fixed it.

 

I noticed my object said. fp.open('GET',...

 

and i was encoding it to POST. so obviously php was looking for GET values when i wanted POST. (i set it to get for debugging a few days ago, and forgot to change it.)
