[RESOLVED] page error

paulnf

I am doing a little work for a friends website that is mostly HTML at one point the php was setup correctly and there were php pages. now I'm adding a donations page to the site that has to run a few checks but whenever i go to the page im getting this error. i'm not well versed in the php.ini was wondering if this error is related to a mss configuration within the php.ini.

just a side note i tested this on my personal site which I run a lot of php on and it works just fine.

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

there are no databases on this website and all i'm doing is a minor check at the beginning its a basic information form that loops back to itself and sends the gathered information to an email address after a very basic validation to make sure all of the required fields have been filled in.

how about posting the php

It works fine when tested on my site but when i place it on the site it is suposed to be on i get that error. and actually it doesn't matter what php page i place on that site i get that error.

I could put a generic php page that actually is just a blank html file with no php code in it and i would get that error. that is why i think there is a problem with the php.ini

if its a hosted site, ask the host.

I'm a fellow newbie, but perhaps it's something simple, like you need to change the php opening tags from just "<?" to "<?php" ????

You could also check the previous and proposed hosting providers, in case they have massively different php versions?

thanks for the replies, I fixed the issue it was with their php.ini there was missing info in it. took me a while to find it but now the page works fine on their site as well.

unfortunately my experience with hosting providers isn't good because they generally wont do anything beyond look at the phpinfo and if they can make that work then the rest the punt to you.

when i spoke to this guy he even admitted he didn't know anything about php.

as usuall this forum is steller and has great members, and again thanks for the suggestions guys.

glad you resolved the problem paul. If you're interested in a hosting provider that gives top class support, I've been using bezazz.com for years and it's great, a very personal touch.

Cheers,
