I've got a client that has a website that lets him add news articles through a special admin interface (using PHP and MySQL). The form that accepts these articles is a very basic form with a couple of text fields for the article title and category, and a large textarea field that accepts the body of the article. The article body may be quite large (30,000 characters isn't unusual). The form is submitted using the POST method.
The client is complaining that when he fills in the article and submits the form that his browser appears to do nothing for a few minutes and then it comes back with a page not found error. The server that is hosting the website is in Wellington. Everything appears to be working ok for me in Auckland. While the client was in NZ it worked fine, but now he is in Malaysia and the problem has started. I'm thinking that it's possible that his connection is slow and there is some sort of timeout happening somewhere. I assume that browsers only wait so long for a response after submitting a form and then give an error, is this correct? Is this timeout something that can be altered? Or is it possible that Apache has some sort of timeout and is closing the connection? -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected]
