    <p>I am sending cms updates from a textarea edited by CKeditor to a PHP handler using jQuery. The POST contains the HTML for the page. Not a problem, or so I thought. Now when I send two consecutive tags like <code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;</code> or even just <code>&gt;&lt;</code> the server throws a forbidden error.</p> <p>I haven't had a problem with another site I built using the same principles, running on the same server, and I tried the consecutive tags scenario without a hitch.</p> <p>I built a simple test(code below, a form with a textarea to POST to a PHP handler that echoes the results of the POST. Even if I don't even read the POST content the server still throws the error. So it would appear that I have to process the HTML before POSTing.</p> <p>I cannot for the life of me see what is different in the site that works as there is no data handling before POSTing.</p> <p>Does anyone know of this problem, and any solutions?</p> <p>Oh! and it works fine on my WAMP server(5.3.5)(public server is 5.2.17), so is there a PHP setting I could look at over-riding?</p> <p>And now we have entered the twilight zone. I changed the textarea field name from <code>name="test1"</code> to <code>S</code> and there are no hitches??? So I now have an odd solution but this may not be the end of it, so If anyone is aware of what the issue could be, I'd be very thankful if not amazed.</p> <p>Code: post-form.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Post Form&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form action="post-print.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;textarea name="test1" cols="50" rows="5"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;!--name this and the php code text1 and it works--&gt; &lt;textarea name="test2" cols="50" rows="5"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;textarea name="test3" cols="50" rows="5"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>post-print.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt;Print result:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo $_POST['test1']; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo $_POST['test2']; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo $_POST['test3']; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. CODo you have some kind of intrusion detection system like phpIDS running? That might prevent the usage of POST variables containing html tags.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
