Re: Newbie Question: Converting PHP3 files to PHP4?

One thing I noticed when I did some updates to a few of our programs, is that certain comment lines caused strange errors, and really nothing else. I basically made a backup copy removed comments, and then added them back in which made everything work...not sure if somehow the older box ( using pico ) caused some strange errors that the new version of php spotted, but just in case you are getting things you are not expecting.
