PHP version difference – code not working
I am using PHP for the first time. I have some PHP on a site that works fine that I copied. It doesn’t work on my new site, I think because it uses version4.4.4 and the site that works is on version 5.
Here is the site where it works:
[url]http://www.diamondedgehomes.com/contactus.html
Here is the site that doesn’t work:
[url]http://www.hpcswb.com/contactus.html
I copied the form statement (including action=”contact.php”), the contact.php program and the contact.txt format for the email. When I test the contact us page it displays a blank page with [url]http://www.hpcswb.com/contact.php
I have run a test (info.php) on the hpcswb.com site and it works (displays information page for version 4.4.4), so I know PHP is installed. This site is hosted by Comcast (unfortunately the client’s choice), so their tech support is non-existent.
Can anyone please tell me what differences there are between version 4.4.4 and version 5 that might cause this not to work? I can post the code here if that would make it easier.
I have been fooling with this for over a week and really need to get it resolved. I’m very frustrated! Thanks very much!
