Something is attempting to operate on the "url". It's a basic text field, and I'm not able to manipulate it with any PHP string commands to avoid the problem. Reproduce code: --------------- print "<form method=\"post\" action=\"commentary.php\">"; print "<textarea name=\"actualText\" rows=\"10\" cols=\"70\"></textarea></td>"; print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Save\" />"; print "</form>"; (There's more code to the page, but the value of "curl" followed by a space "curl " causes the error and doesn't allow any other code to be run. Expected result: ---------------- Textfield value added to database, and a "success" message should be displayed. Actual result: -------------- Forbidden You don't have permission to access /admin/commentary.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.progressivedailybeacon.com Port 80 (The script is in a passworded directory, that has already been logged into by this point.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34207&edit=1
