I’m guessing that it’s these two lines in .htaccess: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html AddHandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php .htm .html They’re changing the handler from PHP files from the default ones to x-httpd-php5-cgi, which would cause PHP 5.2 to be used instead. Try commenting out these two lines. --- Simon Welsh Admin of http://simon.geek.nz/
