Nasty Problem
I am having a nasty problem and I can't figure out what the cure is for what seems like a disease. The problem is that if I perform a search on the system, it displays some records ok and others it pulls information I am not even asking for in the $rec{'field'}. Before I go into this, you can see an example for yourself.

Go to
http://hub.raveworld.net/...=1&keyword=house and look for the event titled "test event". You will see that it is shown differently from most of the other events.

Then go to
http://hub.raveworld.net/...s=1&keyword=test
and the event shows up fine. This is happening with alot of other database entries on the site too. The thing is... it has just started happening. I have not changed the code or anything else.

I checked the database to make sure that it had not become curupted and that all the field values were correct to the field definition. They are all fine.

I don't even know where to begin because sometimes the event comes up fine... and other times it does not. It is really wierd.

The config file is also fine. All the fields are numbered correctly and named corectly to the field I am calling.

Why would some records be pulled fine and others not fine?

I would greatly appreciate some help or theories on this one. If you have an idea.... please let me know. I am an experienced programmer but this one has me lost.

One place to begin is to save your files as text files and place them in a publicly accessible directory on your server. Then let us know the URL for your files.

By looking at the URLs you provided, I honestly think that either your database is corrputed (due to addition new fields without updating your existing database) or problems with the codes in your html.pl output sub-routines.

We need to see your files, including your database file, in order to help you.
