Storing Binary Data in MySQL, Chapter 11

[faded]

I'm currently working through the "filestore.php" file in Kevin's book. Which i must say is excellent, nice job Kevin, i've learned so much, i went though all 12 chapters in a day .

I went through the page and only changed the dbConnections and all seems to work fine. I can upload, to the dB, I can view images, and I can delete.

However, when i upload and/or delete an image from the dB i always get a 404 error in IE. When i hit back and refresh, the page displays the newly added image.

My hosting company is running PHP 4.0.6 as CGI module.

Could this be causing a problem with?

header("Location: $PHP_SELF");
exit(); 

If so is there another way to pass $PHP_SELF to confirm the upload or deletion of a file?

I've tried

header("Location: echo $PHP_SELF"); 

Thanks for the help.

Try using $PATH_INFO insted of $PHP_SELF, I've found the systems that use the CGI module version have trouble with $PHP_SELF.

theFinn,
Thanks for the help, unfortunately $PATH_INFO didn't work out. I changed the

Header("Location: $PHP_SELF"); 

To an echo(); and it seems to still be working fine.

Files are uploaded and everything returns normal. It's probably like you said a weird thing that happens when PHP is running as a CGI Mod and handling $PHP_SELF.

Thanks again.
