Re: [Phptest-users] Re: add question issue

Hi Kathy, 

If you wanted, we could troubleshoot the problem
further.  On the add_question.php page, try putting
the following statements after the

    if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'])) {  

statement:

print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS) . "<br>";
print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);
die();

If you then run the page after submitting a question
and view the source, you'll get a nice formatted view
of everything the browser passed to the page, and you
can paste that into an email so I can examine it.  I
suspect that it might be passing an unrecognized mime
type or something that is causing phptest to barf. 
I've read the php docs regarding the HTTP_POST_FILES
variable and apparently there are a few different ways
that will specify whether a file was actually uploaded
or not.  I tested for two of them, but maybe there's a
third lurking somewhere.  I know at least with IE I
experience an intermittent problem where the $submit
variable will not get submitted to any of the add
pages, so I'm unable to do any adding or editing.  The
same thing with mozilla will work fine though. 
Probably buggy code in phptest somewhere but damned if
I can figure out what's causing it.

Thanks,
Brandon
