I am unable to properly save a flash ad. When I fill out the form with information and hit submit, I get back a white screen. Going to the ad list, I see the new ad but:
Target URL is not saved.
Flash file attachment is not saved, even though the file is uploaded.

Updating existing flash ad produces same results. If I click preview, I do see attached file and URL I enter, clicking save results in blank white screen of death.

Looking for suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

Just checked the tables, no data in them:
mysql> select * from ad_flash;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from ad_flash_format;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Please tell me your Advertisment version and the browser you use to upload ads. Also this happens only to flash ads or it happens to image ads aswell ? I doubt this issue is related with this module because we've tested it and it works :).

Advertisement version 6.x-2.2
Browser: FireFox. I haven't tested it in other browsers and will do so tonight.

I am only unable to create Flash banners. Image banners work fine.

Thank you!!!

Tried in different browsers, same result -- white page. The record gets saved in ads table, but both ad_flash and ad_flash_formats are empty. Ad list displays new items, but clicking on "Edit" link produces the same white screen.
Any ideas?

Please post your hosting information. I might also need host access afterwards because i can't figure out where this issue come from. It must be something with your drupal installation. Can you reproduce the same problem on a freshly drupal 6 install? If you do please post the steps.

Thanks
Alex

There will usually be a PHP record in the error logs if it is a WSOD event. Can you give us the error message in the server error logs?

The execution stops at this line in ad_flash_validate_size:

$fid_info=$getID3->analyze($file->filepath);

Guess it's out of your jurisdiction. I'd appreciate any ideas anyway.

Thank you

Weird issue that i can't reproduce. The only thing i can point you to do is try the thing on a fresh install with only Advertisment / getID3 and ad_flash installed. Also please post the php | getID3 and mysql version might be helpfull in case anyone else reports the same. Until then i'll keep this open but i'll think of it as a local isolated issue.

I forget to install php extention "zilib" which will be used by getID3.

You mean Zlib . Thanks alot wuyang for the info i couldn't have figured that. Can anyone else confirm this fix so i can post as dependency on the module front page ?

I can confirm that the problem was due to zlib not being compiled into php. To fix the issue I had to install & compile zlib and then recompile php to include zlib. The following article will help -

Thanks Greg. I'll add it to the module front page. Although i'm not sure it should be there but rather on the getid3 module front page.
