Seems there=E2=80=99s a glitch here with this version of WebDNA =E2=80=93 W=hen I posted the message below I thought it was only affecting the one host= but it turns out I was looking at the wrong results and can confirm that t=his is affecting all sites on the server. Since most clients have some form= of content management, this is now being picked up by clients and is affec=ting live sites.

We have our servers run under management so it wasn=E2=80=99t my decision t=o run this untested version of Ubuntu... However, does anyone else have the=se issues??


Thanks,




Hi

This is odd. I=E2=80=99ve written hundreds of forms with textareas but this= one site is doing something very odd.

The following textarea content (fieldname =E2=80=9Cbody=E2=80=9D) has this =entered;



=E2=80=9CTest of first line plus weird characters =*&%^%$ and end of line. Single return.
Next line, with double return here.

Final line to test strange character thing.=E2=80=9D


It goes to the page handling the post just fine. Showing the field direct o=nto a browser shows that it=E2=80=99s all there. Showing the field in [url]=[/url] tags shows the proper translations of characters to their ascii equi=valents. But when it writes to the database it=E2=80=99s writing this;



=E2=80=9CTest of first line plus weird characters =*&%^%$ and end of line. Single return.
Net line, withh double return here.

Final line tottest strange character thing.=E2=80=9D


Random swapping out, removal and addition of characters, but apparently (ot=her tests confirm) only after the first linefeed. No other sites on the sam=e server have any problem and they=E2=80=99re all using the same code, howe=ver other pages within this site are doing the same thing.

The page handling the form post is doing nothing except writing the data to= database then redirecting to another page. Code is;




[text secure=3Dt]NewNewsID=3D[if [NewsID]=3D0][=then][math][search db=3D../db/OD_News.db&geNewsIDdatarq=3D1&NewsIDt=ype=3Dnum&deNewsIDsort=3D1&max=3D1][founditems][NewsID][/founditems=][/search]+1[/math][/then][else][NewsID][/else][/if][/text]
[!]## I have a dislike of the autonumber feature :) =C2=A0[/!]

[redirect staff-news.html]



Running Ubuntu 10.04 with latest version of WebDNA... But as I said, all ot=her sites on this server are fine. I=E2=80=99ve also checked that file char=acter sets and save states are all the same, with both the database file an=d code files.


Anyone?


Thanks,
