Hi Marcel,

Sorry to say, but this is most likely a problem in your code, not in the
server/webserver/PHP.

Are you maybe sending the form to the same page that produces the form?
If so, are you sure your checks for a posting and the following DB-inserts
are working as expected?

Maybe add a few echo's before inserting and check if they show up
unexpectedly?

And you can always show us some code (preferable stripped down to the core).

I don't think so, but then again, I don't know what an ISAserver is.

Only under Tomcat with Java (which creates a complete copy of the webapp for
purposes still mysterious to me), never with PHP under *nix or ISS.
