#21993 [NEW]: Frameset/PHP conflict

From: black_dragon5@juno.com Operating system: Windows NT 5.1 (IIS 5.1) PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Frameset/PHP conflict This is an error that was not present in version 4.2.3. Somehow, framesets aren't working very well with the new version, 4.3.0. Here is the frameset: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <frameset rows="56,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"> <frame src="top.php" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize > <frame src="main.php" name="mainFrame"> </frameset> <noframes><body> </body></noframes> </html> the file 'top.php' actually does not have any PHP code in it yet, but retained the '.php' extension for future expansion (this was the bare layout for a new website). Before, all of these files were XHTML-compliant, with a PHP echo generating the <?xml version="1.0"...?> The interesting thing about this is that when I first load the page, it will tell me "The page cannot be displayed". If I refresh the page, the frameset is gone, and it gives me "The directory name is invalid.". However, if I load one of the pages (either top.php or main.php) by bypassing the frameset and then go back using the frameset, that page will load. Additionally, sometimes when I hit the back button it will load one of the pages, but if I try to go forward or back to the page, I get a 500 internal server error. I am using IIS 5.1 included with NT 5.1 (Windows XP Professional) with the CGI version of 4.3.0. Pages were generated with Dreamweaver and edited with Notepad. Some additional thoughts: This could be a server configuration problem, but I think it is highly unlikely due to 4.2.3 working with the same type of page (two earlier prototypes pioneered this method; both worked fine [but are still unfinished]). Note: I believe this is different from the other bug reports due to the fact that there is no PHP code in these pages whatsoever, and I have checked the php.ini file. It works fine when given a .htm or .html extension, but does not when it uses .php. If I am incorrect in stating that this is a unique bug, please feel free to correct me. Oh yes.
