I have a single file that does both displaying a form if nothing has been submitted, or process data if data has been submitted.  When the file is called with a query string (eg, file.php?hello) the form is displayed properly (as it should be), but as soon as I hit the submit button after completing the form, PHP crashes and I get an error 500 (internal server error).

If I remove the query string, everything works fine (but I need the query string for a seperate function).

This only happens when the form action is post, it works fine with get.

I have a php4 file called temp.php with the following *exact* contents:

<?
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "Robbo567");
if (!isset($frmAction)) { // If data has not been submitted
  ?><html><head></head><body>
    <form action="temp.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="frmAction" value="submitted">
    <input type="submit">
    </body></html>
  <?
}
else {
  ?>Form has been submitted<?
}
?>

When this file is executed, it works perfectly, unless you supply it with a query string (eg temp.php?hello).  As soon as a query string is supplied, PHP4 crashes and a 500 error is produced.

I have norrowed it down to two workarounds, comment out the mysql_connect line and it works fine, or change the form method to get and it works fine... but as is it should also work fine.... alas it does not!!

refer to

http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?threadid=13850&forumid=5&goto=newpost

for more detailed explanation and what I've tried.

This shows that on linux with 4.03pl1 it seems to work... but it does not on mine (windows millennium, php4.04pl1)

Ok

I've worked out now, after many hours, that it is actually an IE6beta problem....
