thanks for help...
I mentioned something in my original post, and it seems that it is a
problem...
there's the structure of my page
app-config.inc is prepended via apache
within app-config.inc there is a another file included which does the
initial persistent db calls and such.
I then have the page main.php which has
<?php
global $sys_dbhost,$sys_dbuser,$sys_dbpasswd;
$dbconn = pg_connect("user=$sys_dbuser dbname=bisprojects host=$sys_dbhost
password=$sys_dbpasswd");
echo '->'.$dbconn.'<-';
?>
the scripts just dies whenever I include the pg_connect function... if I
change
echo '->'.$dbconn.'<-';
to
echo '->==='.$dbconn.'====<-';
I'll still see -><- on my page
if I remove the pg_connect function, I'll see
->=======<-;
Basically, no changes to the page take effect when I have the pg_connect
function in place... it just dies or something...
here are the versions of php, apache, and postgresql I'm running...
