AsianIllusion.com PHP Script Problem

programming
1

Ahmed and I has developed this script for my site. But recently, as more people arrive, a lot is reporting “Internet Explorer - Not Responding” errors. We get that too, but only for about, 5 seconds then goes to the actual page with no problem. But about, 4/10 users has told me that their Internet Explorer just quits on them. Anyone has any ideas on how to fix it?

Heres the basic outline.

  1. Goto www.asianillusion.com
  2. It goes straight to index.html which forwards the web browser to index.php?sid=1. (If we don’t forward it to the ?sid=1 part, it draws a blank page), we use the:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=index.php?sid=1">

Script in

<head>

section.

The browser freezes up when reaching the index.php?sid=1 page for that breif period. If anyone would like to see the script, I can post it up.

Hi Max :slight_smile:

Can you post the entire script ?

increase the time to 1 or 2. I doubt it, but it just might be too much information for the browser to handle so quickly.

I haven’t had a problem, and I tried about 10 times on 3 different browsers…

if it still does it, try redirecting with java-script:


<script language="java-script">
<!-- 

location.replace("http://www.yahoo.com");

-->
</script>
4

just take out the “-” from the word java**script…

Alrit, it might take a few posts:


<?php
include 'names.inc';
$section = $id[$_GET['sid']];
?>

it might just be a browser/client issue. I doubt the problem is server-side related. Try the java-script redirect and see if it fixes things… because I had no problem viewing the site.

Ok, I just uploaded the new index.html file with the following code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Asian Illusion</title>
</head>

Nope, Internet Explorer still stops functioning for some reason.

:frowning:

This is really giving me a headache.

10

Jup, works too … I’d keep using the jscript, for some reason it makes me consider it better.

[EDIT] ? not for me … [/EDIT]

11

Ok, I’ll stick with the JS script, I does actually cut down the time by a bit. Thanks, so now the problem lies on the actual php scripting possibily?

12

I think the problem is people’s browser. I’ve had troubles with IE 6.0 before too (see my Browser Frustration posts :P) which froze entirely, but when I removed some ad-ware, worked fine again … Maybe you could try that.

13

I keep my computer in tip-top shape. Defragments and Spyware scans almost 3 times a week. I’m sure it doesn’t have any problems. But I’m not the only one having this problem, almost everyone that goes on the site notices it.

14

i actually think its the browser. I doubt the problem lies in the PHP because the PHP is parsed at the server, so you would experience the same problem even if you were using different browsers.

its a client-side issue… not php/server-side

15

:frowning:

Now theres something I have no idea how to solve.

:’(

16

no no no, the problem is with the index.php file, not the redierct script… try going to www.asianillusion.com/index.php?sid=1 and you’ll still get the error :-\

17

So are you saying it’s the PHP problem or Server since we got the redirection problem resolved.

18

the problem is with that file, but I don’t think its the server-side script that is the problem because if it was then you would get the same error across every browser, every platform.

19

yeah… its not the php script that’s causing it… oh… another thing, when i run exactly the same files on my server, nothing at all like this happens… :-\

20

O boy, so we’ve ruled out just about all the possibilities. What other problem can be causing this?
