Hello,

I am building a login system for my website but I keep experiencing an
error on a specific PHP page that I have never encountered before and it
seems worryingly low-level! It says:

"The remote procedure call failed."

And that's it! Nothing else is on the page. Sometimes I get a slightly
different (but equally scary) error:

"PHP has encountered a Stack overflow"

I've googled these errors and some people have posted them but I found
no solution. I've searched the PHP bug database but found nothing. Has
anyone else encountered this and is there a solution?

FYI:
Other (more simple) PHP scripts work fine (so my PHP installation seems
to be ok) and this error only started happening last week.

I haven't changed this PHP/MySQL installation in months.

I'm testing my script on a (Windows) server in my office on which this
error occurs. When I upload it to a second remote (Linux) test server
it works fine!

Office Server: Windows 2000 Server + IIS 5.1, PHP Version 4.3.9 (Zend
Engine v1.3.0), MySQL 3.23.49. *CGI Version - I am considering changing
to ISAPI. Would this help do you think?

Remote Server: Linux + Apache, PHP Version 4.1.2 (Zend Engine v1.1.1),
MySQL 3.23.39.

Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks,

Alex
