Hi there
I have built this whole admin site for adding news to be included in pages. On one page..I have a drop down of static html pages or an xml page the user can alter..and upon selection of editing an xml entry it goes to a new form that fills in all the story data into form fields. For some reason...my form doesn't immediately display the contents to the page. It keep running (saying "opening") and eventually times out with a cgi timeout error. I have three scripts involved..a redirect(to see if the user chose to add a new one or edit one from the dropdown, and redirects to the right form accordingly)..the php form page itself..and a display.php that displays the chosen story data to the form page. If I put die(); at the end of any one of these..it totally kills the scripts and the page won't work. I also noticed that if I hit refresh or stop while the page is apparently stalling..it stops stalling and displays the way it should. So I don't know why this application of php.exe is staying open..or how to stop it.
I have a second set of scripts that are almost identical except the display.php is grabbing from html pages instead of an XML document. That form loads fine without stalling. I can't see any difference in the two except some coding in the center. And I certainly don't have any die statements in the html series of scripts so it must not be that.
I hope this is clear..thanks for your help in advance!
