PHP website problem

[Anon]

I have a php based website that is going threw a redesign hosted on my proprietary linux server...

folder structure is set up like this...

html
-element
-image
-script
-sfo
-shop
-spec
-and various html files

to eventually test the redesign I have setup an additional folder called "TEST" (basically a duplicate of the entire HTML folder) inside "HTML" that duplicates the heirarchy like so:

html
-test
--element
--image
--script
--sfo
--shop
--spec
--and various html files
-element
-image
-script
-sfo
-shop
-spec
-and various html files

well all is well and good until i try to load the page... when i point the browser to the "index.php3" page in the "TEST" folder it takes forever to load and eventually locks up the browser...

<?php
$element = array("AA2", "HT4", "MA5100", "MC275-II", "MC500", "MQ107", "MX113", "SL-1","TD190", "M1", "S3", "MAC1900", "SL-6", "MAC4100", "MC7108", "MR7082", "MVS3", "C39", "MA6200");
shuffle($element);
$r1 = $element[0];
if(!($r1=fopen("./element/$r1.htm","r1"))) {
print(" ");
}
while(!feof($r1)) {
$line = fgets($r1, 255);
print("$line");

these are the lines of code that are "freezing the browser" oddly the files/paths are the exact same as the ones on the live server... which works fine

I have looked in the "element" folder and it has all the files that it does on the live server...

is this a database issue due to the moved files, or a php thing?

I have never had a problem like this before; but then again this is the most complex site I have done..

I appreciate any feedback and let me know if i didnt explain things too clearly...

Thanks "A TON" in advance...

Hi there!

I´ve a big problem with my own database-session-managment! I´ve a Login frame and when the user is correct i write a database-session (with my own handler). But all the frames in IE6 at example gives me another SessionID
handler source:
session_set_save_handler(....Sess_Read..)
function Sess_Read($Schluessel) {
echo $Schluessel; <= ID
......

frame-source:
session_start();
$_SESSION[UserName]...and so on...

IE5.5 gives me in all the frames 1 ID, but that´s the only one ;-(

Please help me, thanks a lot

now that you've narrowed down the problem, the next step is to find the exact line causing it. add some debugging output telling you the variable contents and the steps taken. ie:

<?php
$element = array("AA2", "HT4", "MA5100", "MC275-II", "MC500", "MQ107", "MX113", "SL-1","TD190", "M1", "S3", "MAC1900", "SL-6", "MAC4100", "MC7108", "MR7082", "MVS3", "C39", "MA6200");
echo "shuffling array";
shuffle($element);
$r1 = $element[0];
echo "contents of r1: " . $r1;
if(!($r1=fopen("./element/$r1.htm","r1"))) {
print("file failed to open");
}
echo "file is open";

while(!feof($r1)) {
echo "getting another file chunk";
$line = fgets($r1, 255);
print("$line");
