Jonathon,
I believe I have found the cause of the problem... But first let me explain
what I am doing better.
Yes, I am trying to gather as many stats from the client as possible.
Before a page is display, many classes are initialized. This particular
class is the session class. After it retrieves all of the client
properties, a session is created. If they don't have JavaScript, there's
not much I can do, so I just use "basic settings" and give them a session.
This is done transparently. It creates this temporary file and then reloads
the page with the long URI. This time the session class retrieves all of
the properties and does put them into a database. Then, sets the session
id. Then, it reloads the page again, getting rid of the long URI and just
leaving the session id in the URI.
Well, here's where the problem appears to be. I believe the CGI version of
PHP on Apache is trying to parse the page as a PHP file. Even though it is
a simple HTML file. Below is the HTML that is produced from the previous
code:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>[ Swift eNetwork ] eNetWizard : Determining Client
Properties</TITLE><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">function
GetProperties(){window.location.replace("http://swifte.dev:8080/php/php.exe?ENETWIZARD_GETCLIENT=TRUE&cName="+escape(navigator.appName)+"&cCodeName="+escape(navigator.appCodeName)+"&cVersion="+escape(navigator.appVersion)+"&cPlatform="+escape(navigator.platform)+"&cLanguage="+escape(navigator.language)+"&cJavaEnabled="+escape(navigator.javaEnabled())+"&cAvailHeight="+escape(screen.availHeight)+"&cAvailWidth="+escape(screen.availWidth)+"&cColorDepth="+escape(screen.colorDepth)+"&cHeight="+escape(screen.height)+"&cWidth="+escape(screen.width)+"&cPixelDepth="+escape(screen.pixelDepth));}</SCRIPT></HEAD><BODY
BGCOLOR='#000000' OnLoad="GetProperties()"> </BODY></HTML>
Notice the swifte.dev:8080 --> After that is /php/php.exe -- I hate this.
That should not be there and the filename is not there either. So of course
it's having a problem. I did a check on phpinfo() and the variable
$SCRIPT_NAME is set to /php/php.exe. The only other variables that have the
filename are REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO. But I'm still getting the same
problem.
I don't exactly understand your code below. First of all, I do not want to
use cookies at all - not anywhere on my network. Too much controversy. So
I take advantage of the database in that respect. Secondly, does the code
example below automatically submit itself?? I've never seen that done
before...
