Re: - IIS - More info

After many grueling hours of screwing around with this, it's working. Not sure of the exact problem - but for those that want to know....I uninstalled PHP and cleaned the registry of any remnents of PHP and then installed PHP manually (instead of using the PHP installer). Then I had to tweak the php.ini file to set the global variables and session data directory and add a few extensions etc. A few things also had to be changed in the IIS settings so it would recognize the php extension and a couple of other things. After that IIS was restarted and voila - these scripts now work. So it appears the problem was a combination of php and the way it was installed, and a few settings in IIS that weren't there. I guess the PHP installer doesn't do these things automatically. Thanks to all those that replied, as some of your answers eventually lead to me reinstalling PHP. If I was snarky to anyone, I also apologize as this was out of frustration.....
