Okay, I think I have a working example, (moved to the SandBox).
http://buyorganic.org/live?SandBox

I just tried to create the BioDemocracyNews page, using the following
input source (for reference): http://buyorganic.org/wiki/biodemocracy

PhpWiki responded 'thank you' (which I saved with lynx).
[Excerpt from the 'success' page follows...]

   Thank you for editing BioDemocracyNews.
   Your careful attention to detail is much appreciated.

 Subject: BioDemocracy? News #32 - Organic Consumers Association

   BIODEMOCRACY NEWS Issue # 32 March, 2001 by Ronnie Cummins A
...snip...

However, the page was not actually saved.  Instead a blank page
exists in it's place.  A dump of the database shows:

   FoodClub ... 1639 bytes written
   BioDemocracyNews ... 7 bytes written
   SandBox ... 434 bytes written

The BioDemocracyNews file only contains: s:0:"";

Again, I think this might have happened because of some high-ascii
characters; perhaps an (R) after STARBUCKS (or something).  I haven't
looked at the code to see why it reports success incorrectly though(?)

Do you think it would be a good idea to switch our backend to MySQL?
(I've also seen inconsistent results in the MostPopular page.)

Thanks,
-jeb

PS: Any ideas why these extra 5 byte entries exist in the dump?

   FindPage ... 1114 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrder ... 3785 bytes written

The MountainPeoplesOrderr dump file contains: i:-1;
