I'm a bit baffled by these reports. I'll have to dig through the code over the weekend. Stay tuned ...

To those with this problem, I forgot to ask: Anything in your error.log or access.log files that refers to the polls?

So it seems that, at least in steffcip's case, $_POST['mode'] is simply not set when the "delete" button is clicked. But at the same time, the almost identical code in the static pages plugin works as expected.

Very odd. Did we rule out browser differences yet?

any idea Dirk?

want full access to site and ssh to account?

Out of ideas for the moment. I guess I would really have to debug it on a site where that problem occurs. So if you could give me access, that would be great. I won't have the time to really look into it before the weekend, though.

So, on steffcip's server, all the form data is coming through just fine - only the $_POST['mode'] is missing?!

I notice that this server is running PHP as CGI and that it has the Suhosin patch installed. Does that match the configuration of anyone else who's experiencing this problem?

bye, Dirk

By default, suhosin only allows 200 post vars. The polls admin form easily blows that number away. You need to configure "post_vars = 1000" or more in the suhosin config file. Google for "suhosin post size" for additional details.

If that's the case, you could also reduce the "Max. Questions per Poll" and "Max. Options per Question" settings for the Polls.

Per default, they're 10 each, so that amounts to 300 post vars for the questions (including answers / votes / remarks) alone. Try 5 each.
