Re: [PHP] Running PHP5 in a PHP4 environment
Paul M Foster wrote: I recently installed some code written for a PHP 5 environment on a server which I thought was running PHP 5. It was a form which should have painted at least something to the browser window. But instead, I got a complete blank page. Come to find out that the server was actually running PHP 4. I've seen PHP do this before-- trying to run PHP 5 in a PHP 4 environment causes it to do every step up to the point where it sees future code it doesn't understand. Then it just stops, no errors, no panics, no nothing. Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something? It seems like if the PHP interpreter hit some future code it didn't understand, it would issue a syntax warning or something similar. Is there some way I can squeeze some identifiable error code out of PHP 4 to indicate it's hit PHP 5 code it doesn't understand? Check the apache error logs, that is where you will usually find something. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Would your time not be better spent getting the system upgraded to PHP5 ? PHP 4 was depricated some time ago. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 http://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.

If you can upgrade PHP on the box, you probably (read: really!) should; if not, time to find a new host. ^1. http://links.parasane.net/rzrp -- /Daniel P.
