How does one change the owner?
I am learning PHP, and bought some scripts from BestWebForms.com, and
they work great on web accounts hosted by Omnis.com and
NetStarTel.com, but I can't get them to work on accounts hosted by
Fatcow or Godaddy.
I tried to get help from the PHP script vendor, but they just said
they'd had some problems with Fatcow sites, but I'm on my own.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
George
