Help with php POST form submit/resubmit

[dennis.mcknight@gmail.com]

I've created a simple guestbook and register user page, however when
they are used and then re used quickly after, php doesn't seem to be
getting the POST info again.

For instance, if a user posts a message in the guestbook and then
immediately posts another message, the 2nd POST is not working if it
happens in under about 10 seconds (is my best estimate). So my
question is: is there some type of timeout or variable that is
preventing PHP from immediately reposting? I don't see anything about
this online and i'm wondering why it's happening to me and is
consistently about a 10 second wait before it works again.

Thanks guys!

No, there isn't. If your connecting is good enough, you could post a hundred
or more times a second. It might be a server configuration though, or if
you've used already existing code, a safety time-out to prevent all too fast
spamming.

Perhaps a caching issue, hard to say without access to your code.

Re: Help with php POST form submit/resubmit

i'm hosting the site at the free service agigforfree.com -- so maybe
they have something set up. i'm not expereicned enough in PHP to
figure a way around it (or to even verify that). i was hoping it was
something I could fix on my end though.

thanks!

Well you could do some checking:
1. Echo a random string on the page you go to on the submit. If it's the
same after the second submit, it's a caching issue.
2. print_r($_POST) on the page, do the values arrive correctly?
3. you could use CURL for some testing to see wether this is a user/browser
issue or a server issue. That will take some writing though.

Are you saying that if userOne posts a message and then userTwo posts a
message 5 seconds later, uersTwo's message does not post? Or is this only a
problem if the same person posts twice within a 10 second window? Have you
tried the first scenario? (Call a friend and say ready...set...p ost!)

It would be if user 1 posted a message and then tried to post again
right away. I posted a help message at the site's forum so hopefully
someone there can shed some light on it. I imagine it's a server side
issue seeing as how it always around 10 seconds that it magically works
again.
