Stuff is working on PHP 5.3.1 but not 5.3.6?

[mastercjb]

This script is working fine on PHP 5.3.1 but i got a new host that uses 5.3.6 and now its no longer working? What can i change to make it work, and does anyone know where i can learn the different coding between the 2 updates?

 

<?
include 'cpheader.php';
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$error = ($_POST['title'] == "") ? "You need to have a title!" : $error;
$error = ($_POST['message'] == "") ? "You need to have a message!" : $error;
if($error == ""){
$time = time();
$result= mysql_query("INSERT INTO `ads` VALUES('".$time."', '$user_class->id', '".$_POST['title']."', '".$_POST['message']."')");
echo Message("You have posted a news update.);
} else {
echo Message($error);
}
}
?>

its no longer working

 

Your forgot to tell us what exactly it is doing, to narrow down the half-dozen different possibilities. Also, what does a 'view source' of the output in your browser show?

[dcro2]

It probably has nothing to do with the version, but with their settings. Like if short_open_tag is enabled for instance.

[mastercjb]

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

 

It was working fine, then i got switched to 5.3.6 and BAM, error.....

 

 

 

"view source" is showing nothing, its blank...

[dcro2]

error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Put it at the top and try again.

[mastercjb]

Nothing changed

[dcro2]

Then start commenting things out until it works. Change those short open tags (<?) to <?php to start.

Do you have a bad htaccess file in the directory, or directories above it?

 

You should check Apache's error log. It will help you pinpoint the issue.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Setting error_reporting to E_ALL would probably help. Setting it to zero will prevent the reporting of all errors.

[mastercjb]

it was this line

 

echo Message("You have posted a news update.);

 

did they change something in 5.3.6 with the echo code?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

It's more likely that your message() function is not defined. Have you set error_reporting to E_ALL as suggested along with display_errors to a 1 or ON value?

[xyph]

He's getting an Apache error. Even if PHP was compiled, I'm not sure Apache would send anything PHP tried to output.

[dcro2]

Setting error_reporting to E_ALL would probably help. Setting it to zero will prevent the reporting of all errors.

Whoops, meant -1.

[requinix]

it was this line

 

echo Message("You have posted a news update.);

 

did they change something in 5.3.6 with the echo code?

No. But it could have something to do with that being a syntax error. Which bothers me because you said that code worked in 5.3.1. Which it couldn't possibly.
