Description:
------------
I am facing a strange problem of IE double posting in case of self post. PHP 5.2.6 / IIS 5.1 on windows XP.
Before starting I must tell you that:
It works with firefox, Apache / PHP combination.
It works with IE / Apache / PHP combination
It works with firefox / IIS / PHP Combination
But it DOES NOT work with IE/PHP/ IIS
This seems to be the case case with all IE versions (specially IE 6) and it happens on even the windows 2003 server.
I have a form with just one field which uploads a single file and posts back to same PHP file. The file is a csv file and it is properly read and inserted into database. After it is successfully inserted I issue a redirect to some other page using header("Location:other_page.php"). When the header is executed the form is posted again.
I know that it was posted twice because when I see the database the records are inserted twice.
I am not sure if it is IIS, PHP or IE Problem.
This is not the first time I have experienced this. I had earlier faced the similar double post problem in case of self post (WITHOUT USING REDIRECT header but this seems to have been resolved with latest php ISAPI version. At that time I just switched to apache as most hosting servers were linux and there was no problem).
But now the problem is that production server is Windows 2003 server with IIS. (The version of PHP IIS or windows shouldn't not matter though)
My application is using all sorts of libraries, from pear db, quickform to
smarty so I have just created a simple upload form . Which does nothing but logs the access to find out about double
post.
I had tried many different php versions and all produced same result. I have created a simple form for testing. If you'll upload a small text file you'll see
that there are two entries in log file for one access.
The platform to test is IIS (ISAPI) php 5 and Internet explorer 6. (IE 7
may not post values twice but it will display some page not found error.)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
set_time_limit ( 300);
if (@$_POST['submitted'] == 'yes')
{
$csv_file = $_FILES['csv_file'];
if ($csv_file['size'] > 0)
{
$fp = fopen('access.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, 'Accessed at '. date('d-m-y H:i:s u'). "\r\n");
fclose($fp);
header('Location:http://www.google.com');
exit;
/* if instead of above header, javascript redirect is used then it is not posted twice */
/*echo "<script language='javascript'>\n";
echo "location.replace('http://www.google.com');\n";
echo "</script>";*/
}
else if ($csv_file['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE || $csv_file['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE)
{
$error = "File size exceeds max allowed size of whatever";
}
else
{
$error = "There was error in uploading your file.";
}
}
?>

<head>

<body>
<?php
if (isset($error))
{
echo "<B>$error</B>";
}

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" type="hidden" value="5242880" />
<input type="file" name="csv_file" />
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

I think I have found what is causing this double post. It is a sapce between Location: and the url. Instead of header("Location:http://www.google.com"); header("Location: http://www.google.com"); should be used to avoid this double posting. This seems to have solved the problem.
