Proxy server problems

2002-03-05 Thread Petre Agenbag

Hi
I have recently had some problems with web forms not updating the 
website ( use PHP and the insert page should first enter the form data 
into a table and then update the status field in a second table 
correlating to the entry just made), hoever, only the first sql seemed 
to go through and the 2nd table never got the updated status field.
It bothered me as when I test the system it worked 100%, yet some 
customers complained about the fact that their entries are not 
registered. Then I noticed that one of them had a proxy server, and it 
started me thinking that that could be the possible problem.

So, my question is; can an outdated proxy wreak havoc with my mysql/php 
pages, and if so, is there a way that I can force a webpage NOT to go 
through a proxy? The solution will have to be software and server side 
based as I cannot rely on the cooperation of the end user for a solution.

I know the solution probably has more to do with PHP, but I guess the 
PHP guru's will frequent this list as well???

Yes and yes. See PHP manual for some examples on how to deal with
dynamic pages and page caching.

I'm sorry, but it's still off-topic, for obvious reasons. There will
surely also be owners of Ford cars here, but  you get the idea ;-)
