I pologize for the delay in getting this posted. I thought the problem was related to mysql and was trying to come up with an easy test to show it but then I found that is not needed. If i run the following, instead of 10,000 lines being displayed on the page, the default php editor opens. The editor will contain this output along with the contents of the file. If I comment out the echo statement, the script runs fine. If I lower the count, it also runs fine with the echo uncommented.
<?php
$longstr = 'Hello World is one of the simplest program in most computer languages. It is often considered to be tradition among programmers for people attempting to learn a new programming language to write a program as one of the first steps of learning that particular language.';
$arry = array();
for ($i =0; $i < 10000; ++$i) {
echo 'arry is '.$longstr.'<br>';
}
The same thing happens when a dropdown list is being populated with data from the database. Since that is usually what is happening when I see the problem, I thought that was the cause. But in both cases, it seem the output buffer is being overran. If I upload this script to a live server and run it, it will run fine. It is only when I run it locally that this happens. It is probably not due to wampserver but since that is the only way I can run it, this is where i thought to ask.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be caused by?
