twice execution of php

[zhang...@gmail.com]

Hello Scott,

I am a Chinese user of this awesome chrome extension. When I was trying to develop some PHP applications on localhost earlier today, I found that this Multi Search extension causes twice execution of the php files if I use the Chrome browser. According to the Apache log file:

::1 - - [12/Oct/2012:13:18:52 +0800] "GET /test.php HTTP/1.1" 200 1838 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4"

::1 - - [12/Oct/2012:13:18:52 +0800] "GET /test.php HTTP/1.1" 200 1838 "http://localhost/test.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4"

After the first line (the first-time PHP execution), the browser displays correct content; then, immediately another repetitive execution follows. But if I disable the Multi Search extension, there will be only the first line in the log. This is a problem when I try to insert/update some records in a database using PHP, because the second execution leads to wrong results.

Is this really because of Multi Search?

Thanks,

Wangda

Hi Wangda,

This is a side effect of the process needed to find OpenSearch entries on a web page,it is something I have been intending to revisit to see if there is anything I can do to prevent the double load of the page. In the interim, if this is causing you problems, my recommendation (until I can fix this) is that on the Multi Search options page, set the OpenSearch setting to No, this will prevent the second read of web pages.
