Hi there, I have a strange problem and at the moment I'm trying to find out, what exactly the problem is. I am using php 3.0.14 as an Apache Module on Apache 1.3.9 on a Redhat Linux 6.0 machine. I am accessing an Oracle 8.0.5i database that runs on the same machine. There was a lot of hassle with connecting the database with php, but after all - with the help of the user suggestions in the php-manual, I managed. I have a little database running, and I copied one of the example (the one given in the manual within the function reference of OCIFetchStatemenet). When I try to access the page that should give my a little overview over one whole table, I get the right results with Microsoft Internet Explorer ver. 4 and 5, but I only get an empty table with Netscape, all versions. I thought that it would be just one of those all-days "Hey they mostly render content in different ways"-problems, but when I had a look at the source of the php-generated page, it was strange: there was not a difference in rendering, but a differnece in the html-source-code. Netscape showed of with an empty html-table. (The structure is actually there, all the <tr> <td> </td> </tr> etc, but actually containing no data.) The strangeness goes further: If I choose to download the same page via the File-Save Menu, Netscape saves the result as I expected - with values!!! I have taken the two result-pages as static versions on the web, if you like to have a look: http://www.net22.net/php-problem/result-ie.html http://www.net22.net/php-problem/result-nav.html http://www.net22.net/php-problem/result-nav-download.html I tried to reproduce the problem on an Netscape Enterprise Web-Server running the cgi-version of php on my developement-machine, but then everything worked fine with both browsers. That fact made me think, if I have an Apache-related problem here. Suggestions appreciated. Andy Pahne ap@net22.net
