There is no Server message; the error is my own code taking the "bad
code" path and halting the script, so it's my own code that's the
problem, OE something different at the Server. I just did a PHPinfo()
comparison to my local server and they're darned near identical, so why
it succeeds in the other script and not in this current script on a
different sit on the SAME server is beyond me!
Yesterday I ported the complete, untouched code from the working
site to the problem site, and got the same identical problem of the
script halting due to taking the wrong fork in the IF statement! I'm at
a complete loss. Guess I'll have to go thru it more and look for copy
problems et al.
I'm no guru with PHP but this still has me real confused.
The reason I don't post complete codes are, I'm not allowed to for
security reasons. Changing them around to be able to post them would
destroy their integrity for posting here due to the stuff I'd have to do
to be able to post it in the clear. It's also a LOT of code; every page!
Any thoughts, comments are still welcome.
Regards,
Twayne`
