Firefox 4 change: input type image only submits x and y, not name when clicked. Keyboard as before

Firefox 4.0 beta — as well as IE and Opera — do not send name/value for input type=”image”; only .x and .y coordinates are sent.

Note, this is when clicking the input image with a mouse. When navigating using keyboard, focusing on it, and pressing enter, then the name does get submitted.

If you need to use an image button as a submit button in a form then you have to pass a hidden value to process the form.

EX:

then in test.php page

isset($_post['passvalue'])

{

process the request

}

?>

ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Protocol error

Note that you have to specify the protocol version prior to making a call to ldap_bind, when the server is expecting LDAP protocol version 3. If you do not, you will receive a warning and fail to bind, such as:

ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Protocol error

In order to avoid this, make this call:

ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
?>

Where $ds is the result returned by ldap_connect(...);
