php not executing (sometimes)

maybe something to do with MySQL upgrade?

[ajsinclair]

I run a message board site that has been having technical problems lately. Today I upgraded my version of php via an apache build in cpanel (now on php 5.0.x - but that doesn't seem to matter).

When I access .php files that don't rely on a database, they run. However, all the .php files that use my MySQL database don't execute and prompt my browser to download.

I should mention that I tried to upgrade MySQL today too. I was using 4.0 and upgraded to 4.1.

Any ideas of what to try next? I'm a novice.

If PHP is up and rolling then I would guess it is likely the MySQL upgrade that is causing you issues. For future reference though, I would probably only do one upgrade at a time, test it, then move on to the other upgrade.

Have you checked the MySQL errors that are being thrown, if any?
