I believe it is Internet Explorer 5 and 6. I have seen this happen on Win2k, IIS and ASP. What it looks like is that IE restarts building the formdata after a certain point, sometimes using the same boundary, sometimes using a different boundary. When it uses the same boundary, the formfields that have been already processed, will be repeated. When it uses another boundary, it depends on how the formdata are being parsed: if only the last boundary is being used (the one that is send along as a header), usually there are no problems, although sometimes the first formfield is send corrupted (and missing after parsing). I have seen the behaviour both in IE 5 and 6, although IE 6 seems not so easy to trigger into it. Also there are quite a number of references to this problem in various discussion groups. But no one really knows what is going on and what triggers the bug. I found that it is needed to use multipart/form-data, have an <input type="file"> and have a long text in a textarea, which contains non-standard characters. Also having a javascript-submit helps it trigger. other posts refering to this are for example: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/cache/4/23/23107.htm http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/sweuphendbrong/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-09 05:03:27] jo_jk at hotmail dot com We are having the same problem but we don't use apache. Arrays are sometimes doubled ( more frequent with IE6 ) Server : W2k pro server web server : IIS 5.0 php : 4.2.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-26 18:19:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.

Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-20 08:55:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you test 4.3.3RC1? Many Apache2+PHP issues have been fixed since PHP 4.2.2. Reporting bugs with PHP 4.2.2 is pretty much useless, despite what RH ships with. Download 4.3.3 here: http://qa.php.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-20 04:31:14] pranav at vigorsoft dot com This is not bogus. We have also same problems with RH 9.0, apache 2.0.40 and php 4.2.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-02 20:14:57] sbeam at syxyz dot net confirmed on RH 9.0 default setup w/ Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2 - this is NOT bogus. Browser used is irrelevant. Please provide fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
