too many files bug and php error reporting

Our audio search page had a bug where if too many files were selected, the results would not be displayed. With the help of S & B, constructed a workaround. The form was submitting all fields of the large table, instead of only submitting the hidden variables which had the fileids. So, made the main form submit to a dummy destination, and made another form with the hidden variable, submitting to the actual destination. That solved the issue, which was that there were too many fields being submitted. We did not have to change max_input_vars.

While troubleshooting, we wished to see detailed error reports. The way to do that was
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

for each php page.

cyberoam fail-over issue

PB had a problem where the 2nd gateway was not being automatically used as failover when the main gateway failed. Apparently it was due to the way in which Cyberoam had been configured. Tech support explained it, and PB fixed it.
