tr33b1rd Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm not sure exactly where to post this, but hopefully somebody here might know what the problem may be. After building a MySQL driven PHP site for a client of mine, I built them an admin panel where they can insert/update/delete records on thier site. There is a webform for each page (update, insert and delete), which is posted to a process script that runs a query on the database and returns a confirmation message. The confirmation message uses the form variables to tell the user exactly what has been updated. I have no problem using this script at all. I have tested it from multiple computers, in multiple buildings using different ISP's and everything works 100% of the time. For my client, it is hit or miss, sometimes it works and sometimes the confirmation page displays a success but nothing happens and the variables are not there. I thought about a timeout issue however they insist that it happens when they have only been logged in for a couple of minutes. When I first wrote this I used post for all of my form methods. To troubleshoot, I changed everything to the get method and it worked for about a month. Then the same thing started happening again. It has to be something in thier network, like maybe a firewall is chopping off the get or post information. It's weird that it does not happen every time. I have also had them change browsers, however there is only one computer in the office that can be used for this work so the computer is the same. I have to troubleshoot this with thier in house IT guy and he seems to be the type to pass the blame instead of looking for the solution. So I am trying to find reasons why this would happen. At first I was told that the internet connection was running through a server before going to the ISP, but then it changed to "oh, we're mistaken... we're connected straight to the ISP". I have a strong feeling that is not true. I really want to avoid making a trip out there as it is not close. Can anybody give me any reasons why or how form data would not make it through a network or firewall?

hostfreak Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Where is the script located (on your server, their server...)? Can you post the code for the process page?
