PHP under UNIX vs. LINUX

[colin71]

this PHP script recieves some variables from a SWF, swaps out some chars

and writes it to a file:

 

<?

 

$exhibitionsText1 = str_replace ("%","%25",$exhibitionsText);

$pressText1 = str_replace ("%","%25",$pressText);

$dvdText1 = str_replace ("%","%25",$dvdText);

 

$exhibitionsText2 = str_replace ("&","%26",$exhibitionsText1);

$pressText2 = str_replace ("&","%26",$pressText1);

$dvdText2 = str_replace ("&","%26",$dvdText1);

 

$string =

"exhibitionsText=$exhibitionsText2&pressText=$pressText2&dvdText=$dvdText2&loaded=$loaded";

$fp = fopen("sm_text.zip","w+");

$htmlstring = stripslashes ($string);

fputs($fp,$htmlstring); fclose($fp);

 

?>

 

This script works fine on a Linux test server, but when I moved it to the

client's UNIX server, the script writes the variable names but not the

contents of the variable.  It is recieving these variables via a SWF:

 

working version (on linux server) here:

They are running PHP4; is it possible that you need PHP 5 for this ?

Permissions have been set, and it *is* writing to the file, so I am not

sure what the problem is.  Please reply offlist if you can offer any

further assistance. I can provide the FLA if needed.  It is writing to a

textfile labeled as a .zip to send the data across as binary vs. text.  I

am not sure what the issue could be.

 

Here is the UNIX server PHP info : http://stevemiller.com/beta/cms/inch.php

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,

From the small snipper of code here it is possible register_globals is on in the Linux server but not the Unix server. (register_globals should be off for security).
