PHP & Flickr Woes

Seems that after alot of trouble messing with the PHP and actionscript it was nothing to do with my code anyway. I uploaded the files to a few different servers, lo and behold everything is suddenly fixed. Which is nice, because it means I know that my code is still functional, but troubling as I don’t know why it stopped working on my server.

It is possible that it could just stop working on the new servers, and I don’t want to have to relocate the files every few months to keep it up and running. I’m now waiting for a response from tech support, hopefully they can help me out. If not then I might just have to bug everyone for some server space to make sure I have plenty of mirrors setup.

Work on the rest of the project is going well, the generative art mixer is all but finished. Got a few tweaks and small changes to make, but apart from that all I have to do is pretty it up and debug. But if I don’t get these php troubles sorted… bye bye project!

- UPDATE -

Wow, super quick response from tech support. Looks like I might be using incompatible php; according to tech support my server is now using version 4.4.6, built on Apr 2 2007, but according to phpinfo( ) im still running 4.4.4, built on Feb 22. The other servers I’m using all use 4.4.4, so if it has changed to 4.4.6 then that sounds like the problem, also roughly the time my project stopped working. I’ll need to either fix my code, or if that isn’t possible, beg for them to roll back my php to the previous version.
