First off I would like to thank everyone who posted responses to my last message on this topic, I am making slight progress, but still not gotten things working yet. I am noticing that all the pages that were once working and are not now are showing a similar pattern to the pages. They are all ending with the following text being displayed and I can not figure out why, these symbols should not be shown to the best of my undestanding... which from the recent posting/problems is very limited. "; } ?> (this is the text being shown at the bottom of the pages) BTW: as far as I know there were now updates to PHP or MySQL, the only patches that were applied were to IIS, but I dont think any of the should have had any effect on the PHP.
