Any PHP Scripting experts out there?

[headbanging]

This may be a bit of a long shot, but I know the power of FOG, and thought I would give it a try, as no where else has been able to help so far.

I have a few websites that run on open source php scripting. I have a problem with one them, and cannot see where the problem is, or what is going wrong.

To begin, all the links are in place, and everything works, until I click one link, and then I get a blank page. Totally white, with nothing there (not even white text). I then clcik to view the page source, and this is also blank. Nothing on the list at all, not even a <?php

The URL is displayed as www.mysite/catalog/correctfile.php and when I type the URL in the address bar, it works.

I have tried uploading clean copies of the files, but that didn't help.

I have tried copying files from a known working site, but that didn't help, and the problem persists.

I have posted this on other sites, but no one seems to be able to help. So do any FOG experts know where I can begin to look to find out what the error is thats causing the blank page?

PS the programme is OSCommerce and the problem is with the Checkout, namely checkout_process.php

If you want to PM me the details I'll check it out for you

Do you have access to the server it's running on? tailing the log files usually tells you exactly what the problem is.

Should probably mention I was a PHP developer moons ago and i'm currently a sys admin/tech analyst for a webhosting company aannnddd I run OSC on my own site

Hi Domino,

Thanks for that.

I have checked the Error logs using C Panel, and it's not showing as an error in there. Which is what is throwing me out.

I will send a PM with some more details.

Thanks

Just thought I would reply to this, as we now have the problem solved.

Domino didn't tell me the exact problem, but was just able to say a few words, that triggered a few ideas to get the problem sorted, and for that I am very gratful. After 2 days of hair pulling, we were there within an hour.

There are times when you stare so long at a problem that you can't find the solution.

And the last place I expected to find a solution was FOG (after the 'official' forums failed abissmally), Well done FOG! and thanks again to Domino

Glad to have helped.

I often find myself in similar situations - you work on something or stare at it for an age and you get nowhere. A fresh pair of eyes can pinpoint it straight away or, like you say, alter your thinking slightly. I've been very embarrassed by stuff like that before

Well done guys
