php code gets "Connection has been reset"

[Hypersource]

Read title.

 

Code:

<?php

//error_reporting(-1); //this will show all errors
//ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
//ini_set('max_execution_time', 3000);
include 'c.php'; // connects to database 
$id = $_GET['id']; // get forum id
$sid = $id; // ...
$text = $_POST['chatext']; // chat text 
$name2 = $_POST['participant']; // chat username
$sname2 = $name2; // ..
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // get users ip for logging
$result = '';
//if this is a postback, send data to server.
if($_POST['postback'] == 'TRUE')
{

//everything needs to be sanitized before going into a SQL query
$sql = "INSERT INTO posts (ip,text,name,forumid) VALUES ($ip,$text,$sname2,$sid)";
mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die(mysql_error());
$result = 'chat submitted'; // easy error message showing
}
?>

<center>
<b color='red'><?php echo $result; ?></b>
<h1>Chat Box</h1>
<form method='POST' action='chatbox.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>'>
<input name="participant" placeholder='Your Nickname' value="<?php echo $name2; ?>"><br><br>
<textarea name="chatext" placeholder='Chat Here' rows='4' cols='30'></textarea><br><br>
<input type='hidden' name='postback' value='TRUE'>
<input type='submit' value ='Submit'>
</form>
</center>

c.php:

<?php
$host = "*";
$database = "*";
$duser = "*";
$dpassword = "*";
$con=mysqli_connect($host,$duser,$dpassword,$database);

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  }
?>

Thanks!

Probably need to see inside c.php...

 

But generally that statement indicates that your script was taking too long and timed out... (I think!)

Added. Its just a simple connect script..

All looks ok to me (had a drink or two though), another thread mentions php safe mode, which you can check with this:

echo $phpinfo['PHP Core']['safe_mode'][0]

 no matter WHAT data I submit it says connection reset.. I even tried a bare-bones forum. (just a submit button nothing else not even php code)

 

[e] it works completly O.K for GET though?!?!

What server software is it, are you saying you definately have PHP working, are you sure the database is working?

 

er, should the variables being inserted be wrapped in quotes? (I was ignoring validation issues)

instead of

or die(mysql_error());

you should be using

or die(mysqli_error($con));

Then you might see some
