Script compatibility issue - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I'm trying to get a php script to run on a private server ... problem is it won't work. I had been testing the script on a public server and it works fine there.

I ran a php info script to see the differences in the servers and got the following:

Good Server:
php 4.4.4
apache 1.3.7

Bad Server:
php 5.1.4
apache 2.2

Here's the script:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?



    define('SERVER_ROOT','/home/XXXX/public_html/'); // Server path to domainname

    define('WEB_PATH','rotate/birthdays/'); // Path to images under domainname

    

    // In the above example, http://www.domain.com/ would use files

    // located on the server in /home/httpd/html and the images to

    // be called by this script are at http://www.domain.com/pics/staff

    

    $files = array();

    

    $d = dir(SERVER_ROOT . WEB_PATH);

    while (($filename = $d->read()) !== false)

        if (substr($filename,-4)=='.jpg')

            $files[] = $filename;

    $d->close();

    

    if (count($files)<1) die ('No Images Found');

    

    // Seed Random Number

        list($usec,$sec) = explode(' ', microtime());

        srand((float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000));

    

    $imgnum = rand(1,count($files));

    

    if (isset($files[0]))

        $file2use = $files[$imgnum-1];

    else

        $file2use = $files[$imgnum];

        

    // START GET DISPLAY NAME

    // filename (no path) is in $file2use

        

    $dispname = substr($file2use,0,-4); // Gets rid of the .jpg extension

    $dispname = str_replace('_',' ',$dispname); // Converts underscores to spaces

    $dispname = ucwords(strtolower($dispname)); // Make sure names are capitolized

    

    // END GET DISPLAY NAME    

    // Displayed name is in $dispname

    

    $imgpath = WEB_PATH . "/" . $file2use;

    

?>

When configuring the script for the public server ... I entered the wrong server root, but received an error. On the bad server, I receive no such error -- ever.

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is some kind of compatibility issue or not -- and if so, what I could do about it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Try adding this at the top:

error_reporting( E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE );

That will print out any errors it might be getting sometimes servers are configured so that the errors don't print out.
