ID: 71717 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: teo8976 at gmail dot com Summary: advanced search broken Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Firstly, I suggest not to talk to spammers, which "nataliepeyton332" appears to be. Can somebody with sufficient rights please delete that comment. Secondly, there is no need to select any package, if you want to search for all packages. Thirdly, feel free to submit a patch or pull request to solve the issue.

Yeah, except that's a big pain in the a** having to select all of them one by one manually. It's ridiculous. > The bug is still there but It doesn't seem to bother anyone. On what do you base that? On the number of complaints you [don't] receive? Who definitely seem to not be bothered is the developers/maintainers of the website. Come on, this is ridiculous. Switching to a POST form would be trivial! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-27 13:47:42] nataliepeyton332 at gmail dot com The bug is still there but It doesn't seem to bother anyone. Also, search works fine if you choose all Top-level categories in "Return bugs for these packages" while it's basically the same as selecting all the items. https://www.mavenecommerce.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-05 16:48:46] teo8976 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The advanced search page at https://bugs.php.net/search.php is a method=GET form, yet it can generate a very large URI, causing a server error "URI Too Large". It is inadmissible that normal use of the UI can generate a request that the same server offering the UI cannot handle. Test script: --------------- 1. Go to https://bugs.php.net/search.php 2. In the "Return bugs from these packages" multi select, select all the items 3. Enter some keywords in the first text input field 4. hit "Search" Expected result: ---------------- Should get the search results Actual result: -------------- You get a server error: > Request-URI Too Large > The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server. Suggestions: Either use a method=POST form, or encode the search parameters in a more efficient way. Ah, and more importantly, test your website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71717&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
