Right I think I know where this error is coming up now. I still tried the approach in XML and unfortunately it was the same story with a 1 being returned. Also my script throws out some output so here it is;
POST Data: action=login&lgname=***&lgpassword=***&format=xml POST Result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><api><login result="Success" lguserid="***" lgusername="***" lgtoken="d6ef5e4f6baaa4a7b3468a1eac5160b3" cookieprefix="ibwiki_" sessionid="***" /></api> GET Data: action=query&intoken=edit&titles=BotTest&prop=info&format=xml GET Result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><api><query><pages><page ns="0" title="BotTest" missing="" edittoken="771ceb39a33469b2a87873ef26b75b82+\" /></pages></query></api> POST Data: action=edit&title=BotTest&summary=Page+created+by+the+IBWikiBot.&text=This+i s+some+test+content+added+by+the+IBWikiBot.&recreate=1&token=771ceb39a33469b 2a87873ef26b75b82%2B%5C¬minor=1&bot=1&format=xml POST Result: 1 Just to clarify that the data lines show any parameters being passed while the result lines show the XML responses. Onto where the error is actually occurring. Hopefully I am not going too off-topic on this list. I notice in my PHP error log that some of my extension functions are dying with a fatal error when the edit request occurs. I know that these functions all run successfully when a standard request from a browser is made. The specific error is that it appears that wiki global $wgTitle does not have a value in it. Is there a way to check where the request originates from, be it the browser or a request through the API. If I could ascertain this then I would be able to instruct my extension to not register any functions which rely on some of the wiki globals being set.

As opposed to the appropriate PHP data structure. That's very weird. Please do the following things: * check whether the edit got through; * try using a different format like XML or JSON and see whether they return the right data; * tell me which wiki you're running this bot against (if it's not Wikipedia or another WMF wiki, also include the version you see in Special:Version) Roan Kattouw (Catrope) _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
