and there's the culprit. <? instead of <?php
I knew it was not a bracket or quote problem. dreamweaver covers quotes
by making mistakes very visible. the tool I wrote covers brackets. but
dw is supposed to handle generic PHP code, therefore it displays <? the
same as <?PHP. I think this should be an option, because it could make
the difference between your code running or not running - not every
server has short_tags enabled.
and after running the code with the session variables in place, I find
it is still quite buggy due to discovering something very important
missing... time for a rewrite/rethink. ugh. what was I thinking?
anyway, thanks for the help. I wouldn't have gotten this far without a
2nd pair of eyes. thanks again.
