Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I tracked the problem down to short tags being turned off in the php.ini (I know, short tags, bad, bad). That fixed it.

So, basically, I'd suggesting copying the files over by hand with FTP or something and doing a 'diff' to be 100% sure you have the whole file. It's also remotely possible that something changed in 5.2... I never have understood why it was kosher to leave the final ?> off, for example, so maybe that changed. :-) [I doubt it] At any rate, you have to confirm that the file *IS* complete first. After that, post the file if you can, or we've got nothing to say about it, really... -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
