Re: [PHP-DB] Pages not fully loading
It appears the dns message (including page not found and blank page) was a symptom of trying the email test page too often resulting in more than the allowed number of simultaneous processes (20 are allowed on the shared server). However, then I got a further solution: The apache timeout on the server was set to 3 seconds, rather than the default 300. This was likely to combat a ddos attack from earlier, but never changed back to its default. Basically, what was happening was when the mail() function was called, sometimes it was taking longer than 3 seconds to process, and since no data is sent to apache during that, it reaches it's timeout and stops. We've changed this back to the default of 300 seconds (5 minutes) and now it isn't stopping output when it needs to send an email. Thank you to all who took an interest in this.

Re: [PHP-DB] Pages not fully loading
I am trying to solve this. My server support made this test script:
?php
if (mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],test php mail(),test php
mail(),From: Bluehost Test [EMAIL PROTECTED]))
{
print Working.;
}
else
{
print Failed.;
}
?
I tried this many time and had the following experience (it will be the
same for Firefox):
various delays occurred not specifically noted
page not found
refreshed - page not found
refreshed - page not found - noted pause in page returning
re-submit - 'working'
re-submit - 18 times - on 18th time blank page then page not found
automatically
refresh- 'working' on try 19
refresh, try 20, blank page, refreshes to page not found on IE
refresh 3 times - page not found each time
refresh another time - 'working'
refresh - blank page refreshes to page not found in IE
refresh - 'working'
refresh- blank page refreshes to page not found in IE
refresh twice - same - works first time then blank and refreshes to page
not found with message bar fleeting message about dnserror
page not found
'working' x 6 refreshes
then error, page not found, message bar about ieframe..dnserror.htm
pattern continues on refreshes...
dnserror.htm - is that a clue ?
What could this be?

Re: [PHP-DB] Pages not fully loading
I am now pretty sure that it fails after the mail() function sends email
(since I receive the email) but before it reaches the next line of the
script. I might try something like 'mail(...) or die(...)' and see if
it prints out the die('') bit. But I am looking to find out why it
dies, something like the mysql_error($connection) - is there an
equivalent? Though it is behaving as if it said 'or die()' already
since it just stops.
Yes, the select box was valid html, though I cannot see how this might
be related to failing at or just after the mail line. The fact that on
several refreshes the page does appear properly suggests that it is not
a html problem.
And I am sure it is not my code as it fails similarly on three separate
pages in sort of different sections of the site which have worked for
yonks, I have also tried older versions of same. And it is a recent
phenomenon
Here is an extract, which I think points to nothing:
if($acceptable==true) {
if($posreplies[0]y||is_null($posreplies[0])) {
$emsg=stripslashes($emsg);
//this prints ***
print(brline 1068 before reply email sent: to: $to, subj:
$subj, emsg: $emsg, from: $from);
$maccept= mail($to, $subj, $emsg, $from);
//this does not, until a variable number of refreshes, by
then the same number of emails are sent ***
print(brafter reply email sent);
$maccept= mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], $subj. - sent to
$to pos or neg replies, $emsg, $from);
print(brafter my cc email sent);
if(ISSET($confirm_email)$confirm_email) {

Has anyone had this strange and frustrating experience? Hopefuly no. But, what session storage are you using? Maybe there is a problem there (quota reached, etc), and the session fail is causing the page fail.

RE: [PHP-DB] Pages not fully loading
This new hotmail has really screwed up the formatting, sorry.
I have seen where errors were not displayed on a PHP production server, so I
would get a blank screen. Check the web server error logs as was suggested.
Also try to display all errors just for testing:
http://php.net/error_reporting
// Report all PHP errors (bitwise 63 may be used in PHP 3)
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Same as error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
If you are using functions that buffer the output, maybe you need to properly
flush it? I haven't run into this in PHP, but I have in C/C++, and PHP _does_
have output buffering.
