Error on POST request method

    I am using the latest version of WordPress (2.1.2), and I was told that a site I upgraded (one I manage for a client) has since lost the ability to send web forms. It seems that, after some testing, the POST request method is causing problems, since everything is fine up until the submit button is pressed.

    This is the error I get:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/springga/public_html/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 913

    The error refers to the $wpdb object, which is working fine with the GET request method. The form script itself includes the wp-blog-header.php file (before anything else) in order to use WP themes for its success and error messages – this has always worked fine before.

    The only plugin in use on this site is Exec-PHP 3.0, but I disabled that a while ago and the problem is still occurring.

    The site in question (try submitting the quick contact form on the right – doesn’t matter whether you fill anything in or not). This problem occurs on WP Pages and non-WP pages (only the guestbook is non-WP). This site doesn’t use comments, though I’m sure those would work properly… Therefore I’m not sure whether the form is at fault, the script is at fault or the server is at fault.

    Does anyone know what might be the problem here?

    I’ve tried commenting out the lines affected, and also creating a new instance of $wpdb, only the former just caused more problems and the latter just moved the error down to where the next call to $wpdb was. I ended up having to add new $wpdb objects to each and every function for some reason (it wasn’t taking any notice of the global statement), but then it would not work for GET (i.e. normal) requests. Argh!

    Anyone have any ideas at all?

    Never mind, managed to fix it (not sure how, but there you go)
