That's what I thought. But the differences are glaring. Seems like none of the
code wants to work. Navigation is a nightmare: header("location:...");
usually brings an error message: function so and so -- include("xxx.php");
has already been declared -- cannot redeclare (yet locally - absolutely no
problem!) ??
Oh, what a nightmare. I can handle parsing errors, and general messups -- but
when the whole site works without a glitch locally . . . .
Also, mysql complains bitterly about a non-existent user (it's already an open
and persistent connection, has given data previously -- go figure) -- it's
unbelievable! And I have an existing site, developed using almost the same
code + 340++ files working seamlessly.
The libraries appear to be the same, however, I did notice a reference to
/usr/lib/pear. include paths point correctly, and I faithfully use <?php ....
?>.
Sigh -- what a mess!
