Hello Demons and Demonettes,

PD has had some upgrades. We've been upgraded from PHP4 to 5 and MySQL 4 to 5. This migration may have caused a few things to stop working. I already noticed the chatbox isn't working anymore. Please let us know if you find anything strange going on. You can post links to the oddly behaving pages on this forum thread.

Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE

I've discovered that GD library has not yet been installed and/or configured. I'm waiting on tech support to fix this. Once it's up and running I'll take the site out of Read Only Mode.

UPDATE 2

Ok GD library is working again and we're back online! Thank you everyone for your patience.

Huzzah! [emoticon]

Urk. Upgrading always causes problems, it seems. [>>] If only there was a !DOCTYPE for PHP. xD

(... Did that make sense to anybody but me...? xD; )

well im not sure that would help anything because then i'd have to update all the doctypes from 4 to 5 right? i want to start taking advantage of 5's features anyway. plus 5 seems to be a little more sensitive to errors that php4 just plain ignored. here's an example of an error i had in my code that 4 ignored but when i installed 5 it haulted all of my scripts:

class Foo{

      function bar(){

           $this->a = 1;

           $this->$b = 5;    // throws an error

      }

}

I had some areas of my code where I mistakenly placed a $ in there because for regular variables we use $ before the name. There was also another place where I mistakenly used $this outside of a class and it ignored it in 4 and threw an error in 5.

Ummm... Unless you included the !DOCTYPE in a PHP include. 8D *Brick'd repeatedly*

Yeah, it gets far more boring updating a single line of text over and over and over than it does when fixing glitches in scripts that are pretty much always different. *Nod-nod* At least that's how my admittedly deranged mind works.

Yeah if there were a lot of glitches. So far the glitches have been minor and easily fixable. So I'm pretty happy with the upgrade.
