ryld Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 unkwntech: You are correct. The production server is a Linux box. As far as an error log, I have no idea where it's located on Win2k3. Running Linux as a server was so much easier...everything worked exactly like it was supposed to and there was no complex configuration... DarkWater: I don't see why that would be relevant...even if the production box has short tags enabled (and thus works), I should be able to use full tags on this server and have it work.

unkwntech Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You know, apache does run on windows right? It almost makes using windows as a server bearable.

ryld Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 I know it does...I used to use WAMP on my development system for testing. However, I was trying to get my web server as integrated with Windows 2003 as I could.

ryld Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yeah. A concept I never seemed to achieve on my Slackware box, but I'm almost there on my Win2003 server...of course, this PHP thing might throw a wrench in it...

ryld Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ok guys...I haven't actually tried posting yet, but...magic just happened. I enabled short tags (even though I'm not using short tags), restarted IIS, and it (appears to work). I'm not sure if it (appears to) work because I restarted IIS or because I changed to short tags...I'll do some more troubleshooting in just a minute.

ryld Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Guys: Thank you for your continued help. I found the problem. It was a combination of two things. Problem #1: Using short tags on a server on which short tags were not permitted. I didn't know they were off by default. Changing tags to long fixed part of this problem. Problem #2: I modified this script's layout quite a bit from my original script, and decided to remove "text2" from being implemented. Its original function was to serve as a type of "Read More..." service, but I decided that synopses were not a requirement for the client's web site. However, when I decided to remove this option from the layout and remove it as a column in MySQL, I did NOT remember to remove the "text2" entries in the actual PHP code. You guys are great, and extremely responsive! Thanks a ton!

DarkWater Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You now use the standard PHP tags, correct? If so, good, because that's how it should be done for this exact reason.

ryld Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 DarkWater: Yes, I do. =) I've learned my lesson. Of course, I'm not much of a web developer so I don't think this is going to be that important, but if I ever touch PHP after this job I'll know. =D Thanks again!
