Screen code problem

[RayYates]

Screen codes un URLs in Beta 3 are now case sensitive. This has never been the case and will likely crash a lot of stores links if they upgrade to 5.5

i.e. &screen=sfnt will fail.

In the past one could always count on g.Screen = toupper(g.Screen)

It has been that way for all versions of Merchant 5.0

I respectfully disagree.
This works. MM5.0

This fails in MM5.5 causing a fatal error

Note lowercase sfnt in the url.

Perhaps you are on a windows server? Try this one.

Note the sfnt instead of SFNT.

Re: Screen code problem

That's interesting. I've only developed a handfull of stores using MM5.0 but I've never seen this error.

Re: Screen code problem

It has been that way in my pinemporium store from initial 5 up to PR4. But I am not on a windows box.

Re: Screen code problem

I've tested this on 4 MM5.0 stores where the lowercase screen code works and two where it did not. Interesting.

What if somone converts from a windows server? I guess they have to recode an lowercase links .

Re: Screen code problem

Rule of thumb: Never use the lower case screen codes and then there is nothing to recode.

Re: Screen code problem

I have also seen this... and I believe the scenario was that it was case sensitive in mivasql stores and not case sensitive on mysql stores.
