Further to Richards suggestion of an Examples forum:

Can I also suggest that we need a way to post XML markup in our 
examples. I have been trying to post a solution to one of my own topics 
but kept getting a "Precondition Failed" error. I am pretty sure it was 
because I had :
[ajax-response]
  [response]
  [/response]
[/ajax-response]

...obviously using < and > instead of [ and ]

Details of the scenario:
-I was logged in to the forums
-went to my earlier post and tried to reply - 
http://forum.openrico.org/topic/133?reply_to=384#postform
-see the sessionhandling.txt file that is attached to see the text I was 
trying to post
-repeatedly received the following response after clicking Submit:
URL: http://forum.openrico.org/topic/133#postform
TITLE: 412 Precondition Failed
BODY:
"Precondition Failed

The precondition on the request for the URL /topic/133 evaluated to 
false."

I will look into this issue:

btw, I am testing your post by including your attachment.



1 - Your normal web page starts a session as per normal using 
session_start()

Then in the server side script (getRecordCount.php) of the AJAX 
request...
...ajaxEngine.registerRequest( 'getRecordCount', 'getRecordCount.php' );
Do the following:

2 - ob_start(); //must be before your session_start(). Make it the very 
1st thing you do

3 - then do whatever it is you need to do which requires $_SESSION 
varaibles. For example, I do database queries which require a userid 
from my $_SESSION and build the XML to be returned.

4 - ob_end_clean(); //this gets rid of any output already generated, 
especially the headers sent by the session_start()

5 - then do the actualy XML output. Eg,
...
testing with extra text instead of the xml]
    this is a test and it should be ignored. Making sure it is an issue 
with the xml....
       if it is an issue with the xml, this reply should not work.
    I have already got the precondition failed notice.  So, we will see 
if this works now
I do not think it is an issue with the size of the posting, so we will 
see.

I could not get the xml to post either.
I will go look at the forum software and see if I can resolve.
<p>Should not be a difficult thing.</p>

I am still trying to track this issue down.
We are using RForum software  for this forum.  There has been a bug
posted in the RForum forum on this issue.

I will try to get resolved.
