Hi David,
Thanks for your reply... Although it wasn't the problem, it did get my
brain going in the right direction, so thankyou...
The problem was that I was passing a hidden field from question to question,
which had an apostrophe in it.
I was populating the hidden field with the posted version of itself on each
load of the page, without using the 'stripslashes' command, so PHP was
adding more and more slashes to the hidden field, every time the page was
posted.
I realised the problem, when I did a 'view source' of the page, and saw
pages and pages of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Obviously, the amount of slashes was doubling every time, and making the
HTML code being sent back to the client huge, and slowing the load down.
All sorted now.
Thanks to Erwin to, for his reply.
Regards,
Chris.
