P.S. I am posting a form to the test1.php page with a valid account_id etc.;
after re-reading the message I thought someone might think it's printing
that result because nothing is posted.
Update:
I also found a file called "error_log" in the folder where test2.php
resides, full of several of these lines:
[01-May-2007 14:12:52] PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this
version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in
Unknown on line 0
Could that have something to do with why the script is calling on itself
instead of running the specified php script?
I recently had the hosting company rebuild PHP, first they did
--enable-suexec (to run PHP as CGI) and then later rebuilt again to
--enable-pcntl and --enable-sigchild, as I thought I would be needing that
functionality. Did that break the CLI?
Please help, Thx.
Brad
