Any PHP programmers out there?

Strange thing happened - my web site just stopped working! The first page loads, but then subsequent pages throw up an error which is down to session variables not being passed between pages (sorry to any non prorammers) - but I haven't changed anything on the site which has been running for a couple of years - has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Sorry about the late reply to this thread Ian.

I've not had the problem you describe, but a site I had running for about 18 months suddenly started to behave strangely. When I investigated the code, I found out that the home page had been hacked and was distributing malicious scripts to all my site visitors.

Basically, what I'm saying is, check the site, in particular the PHP scripts haven't been tampered with.

Krazy,

Thanks for the reply - in fact I think what happened was a Lycos cock up! I'm pretty sure that they changed the access permissions on the server location that stores the PHP session files - I logged the problem with their support desk & a day later got a reply to say it was all working OK - and amazingly it was, even though I had done nothing - isn't IT wonderful?

Cheers
Ian
