I wrote a php program that calls itself many times. That's not my problem. The first pass thru it requests the user to select a program from a selection list. Not a problem works like a charm. The second pass requests the user to select a game (the program is for a hockey league administrator to be able to enter goals for a game). The third pass thru the program gives the user a form to enter max of 10 goals.

In my test I enter 4 goals indicating team, period, time, scorer, and 2 assists. This works fine. When I hit submit after completing the form the program re-calls itself but does not generate the entire html code. It produces part of the header and stops abruptly.

Is there a limitation to the size of a php program? What could possibly be causing this problem?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

There isn't really any size limitations to your programs. As long as they don't take longer then the max_execution_time and use less then the memory_limit (defined in php.ini), they should work just fine (usually these settings are 30 seconds and 8M, respectively).

It's hard to say without looking at the script. Try putting the error reporting to "all" to see if PHP reveals any clues:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL); 


I assume you're doing all this in 1 file based on your post. So you have to have a part of your script directing it where to go. As in, "If user just submitted the form then go here."

I would check that conditional and make sure it matches up with the part of the form you're checking to see if it was submitted.

For testing purposes your can print the variable you're testing to see what the value is and if it's what you're expecting it to be.

If your script doesn't know where to go would it just display the header and not process anything else? Just a guess.
