Hi,

I wanted to chat with a friend (they can't use any chat apps) and I wanted to work on my php skills (still rather new to php) so I made a basic chat script that lets them enter some text, writes it to a file, then we can both see it.

Works great in Mozilla, but when in IE, you can only say I or two things, then the page keeps getting returned with nothing... I have used the following:

header("Cache-Control: private");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

STILL won't work... anyone got any ideas?

Here is the script in action (to delete text, enter sdf in the text box):
http://www.robj.ca/test/

and the script:
http://www.robj.ca/test/chat.rar

Please, help

the error seems to be related to HTML. whenever i submit the form using Enter - it does not work. if i click the Submit button - it always works.

you should give your second form a name and close it with </form> somewhere.

Hi antoshka,

Thanks for the reply. I see what you mean about the difference when pressing Enter and clicking submit.

The second form was already closed and I have now given it a name, but still nothing.

Any other ideas?

I found the answer:

use

PHP:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {



instead of

PHP:
if ($_POST['Submit']) {
