If you're positive that it's the server(s), then why not take another machine, install PHP & Apache, port the code and confirm that it's code-independant? -M -----Original Message----- From: Francesco [mailto:francesco.marsan@bmg.com] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 8:09 AM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Re: PHP randomly is not parsing a valid script Unfortunately it cannot be a data problem, because PHP finds syntax errrors every time in some other part of the code. And not just in one script, also in many others. Also in a distributed application (an evaluation versione of WebEdition CMS) I got those "false" syntax errors. Every time, it is sufficient to reload the page (F5 in IE) and the script executes normally. This happens not only from my client PC but also from other clients. I am sure it has not been hacked (it's an Intranet). So it is looks really like a problem of PHP-Apache itself. "B.A.T.
