For some reason my PHP is playing up, error reporting is on (error_reporting = E_ALL) but nothing is showing on the screen. (display errors is also on) when I upload it to my host, every error and it's neighbour shows up.

Anyone have an idea or is it time to reinstall PHP?
running PHP 4.2.3

Yes, I think it might be time for a reinstall. It usually does the trick on Winblows platforms Smiling

well I reinstalled PHP, went well for a while then kaput Sad
I'm thinking it's a mozilla problem somehow, works mine on other browser but mozilla (mozilla and firebird) are both sucking resources and then srewing things up - back to 4.7 I think.

i'm getting too used to posix.

os == operating system.

oe == operating environment.

reason posix has been moving to that for a term iss that you cna run linux as an os, but then you can have an enviornment that's linux/gnome or linux/kde or some other combo like that (with linux all the major managers use gnu. with unix you generally include gnu when stating the oe)

the oe is the os and the major tools used to interact with it... what you need for the system to be running like yours does (well, the software side)

winblows likkes to override things.. it may be corrupting your config files. make a backup, and before reinstalling, try removing the configs and remaking them (you might need to by hand) to be what you want. and make sure nothing incompatible is loading (and if it is, then that could be the culprit... remember, the issue with m$ is that it wants things as it likes them, not as the user wants them... ie: install a software firewall that blocks outgoing and m$ adjusts start up to have all it's reporting done before the firewall... go in and manually make the firewall first and it will adjust it on start up, so you'll have to manually keep changing it.)

POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.
