I ran the " <?php phpinfo(); ?> " script and it did bring up the page
with the cool purple header. THEN the error message(s) came up & shut
down apache. I have a whole slew of reports, all written in a language
my pet cyborg understands, but he just communicates with clicks &
beeps, so I don't understand HIM either...
But I would be happy to post (or send you) some of the error dialog-
box info, log files or whatever would help clear this up for me.
btw... I'm running Apache & PHP on my laptop. opefully the Hairy
Thunderer will not banish me to Sheol for this...
