This may not be the case for everyone though, so it's still a viable option to try first. :) On Aug 24, 10:05 am, Chris P <technicalti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Brendon > > Thank you SO much for helping me out with this - it was indeed a server > issue - mod_security2 is the culprit and after a brief battle they > agreed to turn it off. > > As mentioned on the weekend, I couldn't have ascertained this without > your and everyone else's help to rule out my code and cake, and > establish that the server was a feasible culprit. > > Thanks *hugely*, > Chris > > > > Brendon Kozlowski (Realm) wrote: > > I've been thinking about this over the weekend, and...to be honest, if > > it's a server issue (you're testing with the same version of CakePHP > > on both your development machine, and production server, right?), I > > think you're probably going to have to resolve this with your host. > > > To see what options are available/running on your host within PHP, you > > can use the phpinfo() function.
