IE bug?
 

Hi all,

I found PHPDig just today and installed it and everything worked fine. I was pretty impressed. I then added the search box function from section 9.2 of the FAQ. Great!

Then I remembered that my client uses IE to view everything, so I checked it under IE. Of course, there were problems.

I'm surprised that I haven't come across this problem in the fora, since it seems pretty major. If I enter "paul" in the searchbox on the main page (http://www.trimlinemed.com), the search.php page appears with the string "paul query_string=paul" in the search box on search.php.

I can't find anything in the code (mine or PHPDig's) that would cause this. And it only under IE. Firefox on several platforms work fine. :-?

Hi,

I've just checked your page in IE 5.5 with no problem showing.

Hi I just visited the web site and it works fine when viewed with firefox, I then switched over to IE and it was okay as well..

Warmbells, Dave A,

You went to http://www.trimlinemed.com, entered the string "paul" into the search box in the upper right hand corner of the screen and hit "Enter" and the resulting search.php page showed results?!

Yes, no problems at all and I also tried firefox.

Curioser and curioser. It doesn't work for me running IE on my Linux box via VMware nor does it work for my client running IE on XP at a completely different physical location. :-?

IE bug- SOLVED!
 

Several people in my LUG saw the problem and one did not. All of the data is not in, but it was consistent amongst people running Win98SE and XP (Home|Pro).

To fix the problem, I added 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' to the form tag and it works now!

May I suggest you change the entry in the FAQ/docs to read as follows so others can cut 'n' paste:

<form action="http://YOURDOMAIN/search.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="text" name="query_string" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search">
</form>
