Blank page when approving and various other things...

Phrost2 · February 16th, 2006, 05:57 PM

I'm getting blank page on my PhotoPost 5.3 installation when I try to approve new files, make changes to the configuration... etc...

It seems that anything that references adm-misc.php and passes along POST variables encounters this problem. If variables are passed via GET, there's no problem, but when I try to do anything that passes along things like $admact via POST, there is a totally blank page returned (even viewing source shows nothing, no HTML tags or anything).

I can't figure out why this is happening or how to correct it!

Our forums use post in the forms I am seeing in adm-misc.php and we typecast the variables using $_REQUEST which means $_POST or $_GET will both work

I realise that, and it's the same on my forums. Everything BUT Photopost works just fine.

This is a reproducable problem with Photopost and Photopost ONLY, which is why I am post here, instead of looking at other avenues, since I don't have any problems with any other software on the server.

So really, I'm looking for a solution to the problem, and not a "Well, it works for me!" response, since that doesn't really fix my problem or even give me any ideas on where to continue looking.

You say that both $_POST and $_GET work, but I'm telling you they don't. They are not populated at all. Nothing is populated, so obviously there's a problem somewhere with Photopost, but I can't find it.

I said forms not forums

yes both $_GET and $_POST populate fine. You are the first person to post an issue like this

We use POST all over our program and it works fine for everyone. Issue would be to see why your site is not working and the first thing to check would be your server setup. So lets get started

Post a phpinfo link to your PHP setup here so I can see how its set up.

Here's a link to my phpinfo : http://www.bullshido.net/gallery/phpinfo.php

I know this is a problem with my specific setup, not with the Photopost code per se. The interaction of something in my setup and Photopost is causing this, obivously, but I've tried exploring every avenue I could. Even twiddling with adm-misc.php to dump the $_POST/$_GET variables and exit yields a blank page. The other scripts that aren't using adm-misc.php seem to be working just fine, which is why it's a real stumper.

Oh, should also add, since this started happening, we've reinstalled photopost from the distribution archive. We did NOT remove the photopost database, however, since we have too much to rebuild. Given that fact, I'm inclined to say it's something within the DB that's causing it, but you've got me as to what that could possibly be.
