Here is a hard one for you

[AlabamaHit]

OK....Let me try to explain this....

To start I have used it in Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.....On Windows and On Linux......

(was hoping it was a bug in firefox 3 to start or a bug in linux firefox but nope)

What my problem is i made a forum. Now when you post a topic with Internet Explorer. It works right......

When you do the Exact same thing with fire fox.....no matter the version or OS....It post your topic and post a blank topic...So its like it is double posting but the double post is blank...which regardless the double post is bad, lol..

My querys I'm running is this...

 

$newforumtopic = str_replace($codes, $images, $_POST['fp_text']);
$newforumpost=str_replace(array("\n"),array("
"),strip_tags($_POST['fp_text']));
$subject=str_replace(array("\n"),array("
"),strip_tags($_POST['fp_subject']));
$db->query("INSERT INTO forum_topics VALUES('', {$_GET['forum']}, '{$_POST['ft_name']}', '{$_POST['ft_desc']}', 0, $userid, '$u', unix_timestamp(), 0, '', 0, 0, 0)");
$i=$db->insert_id();
$db->query("INSERT INTO forum_posts VALUES('', {$i}, {$r['ff_id']}, $userid, '$u', unix_timestamp(), '{$_POST['ft_desc']}', '$newforumtopic', 0, '', 0, 0) ") or die(mysql_error());
$db->query("UPDATE forum_topics SET ft_last_id=$userid, ft_last_name='$u', ft_last_time=unix_timestamp(), ft_posts=ft_posts+1 WHERE ft_id={$i}");
$db->query("UPDATE forum_forums SET ff_lp_time=unix_timestamp(), ff_posts=ff_posts+1, ff_topics=ff_topics+1, ff_lp_poster_id=$userid, ff_lp_poster_name='$u', ff_lp_t_id={$i}, ff_lp_t_name='{$_POST['ft_name']}' WHERE ff_id={$r['ff_id']}");
$db->query("UPDATE users SET posts=posts+1 WHERE userid=$userid");
$db->query("UPDATE users SET fcredits=fcredits+5 WHERE userid=$userid");
print "[b]Topic Posted![/b]<hr />
";
$_GET['viewtopic']=$i;
viewtopic();
}

 

That is the querys for posting a topic. I have never ran into this problem before.....is there something wrong with the querys???

Please help....You help is very very very appreciated.

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Don't use Firefox, it sucks...

On a more serious note, I've noticed that on your POST variables, you use ft_ as a prefix.

I also see that your variable newforumpost holds the value of the POST variable, but uses a prefix fp_, might be this?

But as IE works with it, and Ff doesn't it's most properly Ff, search their mountain of bugs, I think this is a bug in Ff.

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Lol, I don't have much choice on Fire fox for my main box is Linux...

but here is the break down of the table above that it might help understand the values...

 

<form action='newforums.php?act=newtopic&forum={$_GET['forum']}' method='post'>
<table width='80%' border='1'>
<tr>
<td align=right>Topic Name:</td>
<td align=left><input type='text' name='ft_name' value='' /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=right>Topic Description:</td>
<td align=left><input type='text' name='ft_desc' value='' /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=right>Topic Text:</td>
<td align=left><textarea rows='8' cols='45' name='fp_text'></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th colspan=2><input type='submit' value='Post Topic' /></th>
</tr>
</table></form>

 

Posting that i just noticed i didn't clode the form....i forgot a </form>

I will try this real quick...

EDIT:

Nope not it...i place it in the code now also...still does the same thing.

Also here is a picture of what its doing.....

See how it has 2 post that was from me posting one time......I posted teh testing topic and it gave me both...Now in IE i is not doing that. It works right..........that is what has me so confussed.

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Validate for empty fields, especially the subject.

That should fix it.

[AlabamaHit]

Re: Here is a hard one for you

I might have misunderstood but the subject its validated. THe one you see blank...thats the problem. The one that is filled it right is what i typed in.....But like i said i might have misunderstood...

[Spudinski]

Re: Here is a hard one for you

You should then use timestamps if validation doesn't work.

Here is an example:

if ($last_time > (time()-120)) {
    echo 'Please wait two minutes before you post again.';
    exit;
}

 

That is also a solution, but depending on what is posted first with firefox, the message would be displayed rather than the post.

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Its on one post....

say i start a topic called

Test and i put in ther blah blah

I hit Post

and it does it twice....its not the person posting to fast or refreshing or back button....

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Sorry for the double post but want to make sure people see it..

Ok I have an idea....Can someoen show me how to make a queyr for this to run ONLY ONCE like a LIMIT of some type this might do it what do you think?

$db->query("INSERT INTO forum_posts VALUES('', {$i}, {$r['ff_id']}, $userid, '$u', unix_timestamp(), '{$_POST['ft_desc']}', '$newforumtopic', 0, '', 0, 0) ") or die(mysql_error());

You know and add at the end LIMIT 1 i have tried but got nothing but erros....

or maybe change to a sprinf? have not tried that but dont think it matters though...

 

 

Got it fixed.....dont know how it worked but it did....

i changed

 

print "[b]Topic Posted![/b]<hr />
";
$_GET['viewtopic']=$i;
viewtopic();

 

To:

 

$_GET['viewtopic']=$i;
print "[b]Topic Posted![/b]


[url='newforums.php?viewtopic=$i']> Back[/url]";

 

I decided to try this cause i was thinking maybe firefox was looping the code 2 times...so i figured if i changed that part it would work...So if you ever have this problem there ya go :mrgreen:

So with that said...the problem was this

 

viewtopic();

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Why do you use so many queries, that's ridiculously bad.

[iMpuLSe]

Re: Here is a hard one for you

why does firefox do everything in double and how do I stop it from doing everything in sets?

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Try Google Chrome :) Its rather nice. Since FF 3 was released it has constantly crashed. So i have started using Google Chrome I give it a 9.9 out of 10, Where now i give FF a 6 out of 10. FF Dev Team should get their crap straight before posting retarded updates lol..

Re: Here is a hard one for you

It's not a firefox problem. You likely have an img tag with an empty src. Perhaps you didn't have the image ready at the time and put in a [/img] so that you could put in the src later. That will cause the dual load.

Re: Here is a hard one for you

Look at the server logs -- they will show if a "dual load" is the cause of the problem (bad terminology, but it suffices).

If you can't see the logs, dump $_SERVER out at the top of the page to a temporary (protected) file - look at the unique ID, it will tell you if you have a "dual load".

[Floydian]

Re: Here is a hard one for you

I like to run a session counter

echo the counter

and increment it one

if you see it going up by two on each page, you know you have a dual load ;)
