Says you; you're pissed because he's wise enough to see the bigger
picture by now. Actually I'm beginning to wonder about your own
experience and ability w/r to databases, PHP and how they're used.
If your servers don't let you determine the version of PHP you use and
would automatically change everything to their latest install, then I
suggest you need a server-admin where you get better support and
communications. Any major server changes should be communicated to you
BEFORE they happen, or at least be listed on the site - mine sends
e-mails to me. And it's a business oriented website with excellent
support areas who respond quickly to questions that aren't in their FAQs.

It's pretty much irrelevant what you think based on your postings in
this thread.
