GOT IT! Finally.
Turns out my php.ini for my remote site was damaged. I've been running
around the pole for a week or more with them, getting various answers,
including it was my own fault and they won't help people with coding.
Jeezum Crow!
Everything was pointing to my server host, and not me, so: Today I
got fed up enough to try a chat, and a phone call if that didn't help.
Just goes to show: The chat tech asked me to hold while he checked
my accounts and a few seconds later was back, problem solved!! I
learned long ago to not give Support departments a chance to push things
back on me and just keep trying until you get the right tech or
supervisor or whatever. How one guy could look at whatever he looked at
and fix it right away and the others couldn't, well, speaks volumes
about support departments.
Thanks for all the excellent responses and attempts to assist. This is a
great ng!
Best Regards,
Twayne`
