    Problem with HTTP POST data in MSIE6, PHP4.3.3. Sorry for the multipost!

    First of all, I apologize for multiposting. I am now reposting and
    crossposting in an attempt to reach a broader audience. Here is the
    original posting... (with some small changes)

    I am tearing my hair out trying to reproduce a problem. The one client
    user who has this problem is running IE6 on WinXP Pro.

    I tried reproducing the problem in Opera, Mozilla, IE5 on Win2k, IE6 on
    Win2k, but no luck. It all worked fine!

    Here is the problem:

    Occasionally, all of the HTTP POST data is lost. Poof! It just
    disappears, with the exception of the PHPSESSID, which leads me to think
    it is not a sessions problem.

    Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem! I am at a loss on what
    details to give that would help. My only hope is that someone else,
    somewhere, has experienced a similar symptom, and solved it!

    Here is as much relevant data as I can think of:

    * I am using Editize, an integrated WYSIWYG HTML editor (Java Applet) in
    place of an HTML textarea.
    * I am using sessions. session_start() and $_SESSION.
    * Server is PHP Version 4.3.3, Apache 1.3.27, Red Hat 9 * The symptom
    occurs when the user goes to an update form (HTML form), fills in the
    information and clicks submit. I have been able to verify that ONLY the
    PHPSESSID is getting passed from the form. All the other form vars just
    disappear!
    * I use $_REQUEST in the PHP script that processes the form.

    I can't think of anything else. If anyone can help me on this, I'll give
    them a present! (Nothing big; maybe a cookie or something.)

    Thank you in advance.

    maybe u show the html code of the form. is the content of the wysiwyg
    editor the only thing what is missing when submitting? if that is, maybe
    there is a deeper problem in the editize script, that it dont
    correctly update the postarea before form is being submitted.

      Thanks for the reply. It turned out to almost certainly be a bug with MSIE
      and KeepAlive connections. I extended the KeepAliveTimeOu t interval on
      apache to 60seconds. Problem (apparently) solved.
