Needless to say, not a happy moment -- I troubleshot a bit and finally tried upgrading HTML_QuickForm from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3, which I had been going to do anyway. Voila, everything worked swimmingly again (posts, errors, db connections all intact). Which is great, I'm set. But -- my question is -- why did 3.2.2 stop working as expected? Is that usual behaviour when a package upgrades? I would think that existing packages shouldn't be affected by a new release. What changed? Did anyone else have this experience?

I dont quite understand what the exact problem is. Something must have changed on your box overnight (some cron install job maybe?). Anyways in general pear packages maintain BC within the given major version number. That doesnt mean that bugs cant happen though of course. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
