Well, it's always possible a file got corrupted. Especially since you copied
files from a corrupt hard disk.

At this point I agree with Rik - you need to reinstall at least sendmail, php
and apache for a start. You should be able to keep your configuration files
(after ensuring they aren't corrupt), but get the rest of the files installed
with fresh copies.

Otherwise you may be spending days trying to find this bug - and even when you
find it, you wouldn't know if you might have another (more serious) bug.
