I tried WAMP and XAMPP, neither work and give me the same errors about not being able to load the Session component in app_controller.php.
Check this out though! I am using the most current version of everything and it did not work, so, I downgraded everything and it still does not work. In the end I started to write a new framework of my own. Here's the kicker, I started developing in Eclipse and testing on a Gentoo Linux Apache server. Everything was great. I get home and load up the files off my thumb drive onto my laptop with IIS. Low and behold, errors! Specifically with the require_once directive. So, I change it to include and it started working again. Did some more coding and it was working fine on IIS on Windows Vista. I get back to work and upload my changes to the Apache Linux server and the same errors started coming up about not being able to find files. So, I changed the include to require_once and it worked. I cleared my browser cache and restarted the apache server and changed the require_once to include and it worked fine either way now. Went back to IIS and had to change include to require_once! LOL, wtf!? I can only assume it is now the way the OS's deal with php. Wierd! Bottom line, once you start developing in PHP on Linux or Windows, you have to stick with that OS for production. Keep in mind that this may be a bug and change later but, for now, that's all I can figure out. Also, keep in mind that everything I wrote was straight up php. Another wierd example is, my co-worker made a simple index.php with some includes and a session_start() at the very top. He got an error saying that output headers already started. He told me that he was developing this on his IIS machine at home. So, he got to work, copied his index.php file to the linux server and bam! Errors. He copied and pasted the entire contents into test.php and test.php ran flawlessly. We made sure there were not extra lines at the end of index.php. In the end, we couldn't figure it out so, we just renamed test.php to index.php and it was still fine. Can this be a problem with some type of codepaging? UTF-8 and ASCII or iso-whatever?
