Re: PHP 4.3.2-Win32 - This Program has Performed an Illegal Operation

hello, this is not a problem with the script, which I'll try not to criticise here; instead it's a problem with your php installation. Since this is PHP 4.3.2, I would suggest you redownload/reinstall PHP, and preferably do that with the *latest* version. There's a big chance that the bug you ran into has already been fixed. hope that helps, - tul GKE wrote:
