Mailing lists usually bottom post, so I'll put my comments there.

I wonder if it is a PHP 5 problem. A blank screen would indicate that
the PHP module is being called, otherwise I would expect to see the
actual contents of the phpinfo.php file shown. I don't use PHP 5 so I
do not have experience of it, but I seem to remember problems such as
this being mentioned. You could try searching at the archives to this
list at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com or the bug database at
http://bugs.php.net
An alternative is to try to install the same version of PHP 4 as you
have presently working.
I notice as of 8th June there is a release candidate 3 for PHP 5
available. I wonder if you are trying this or an earlier version.
OK on the MS and SQL background. I'm originally assembler, then C under
DOS then VB. Earning the bread remains either VB or PL/SQL and Oracle,
though interests and some developments have been PHP under linux.

Chris
PS I had not noticed you replied privately. May we keep this on the list
then any solution found may be shared with others.
