Refreshing sometimes brings up the page sometimes not. Also sites using includes (PHP) show the main page but not the included content - again, refreshing sometimes cures it and other times not. Is this a hosting/server problem? _____________________________ Regards, Rick On-The-Web-Now!

From what I can remember, PHP includes don't show an error like ASP (includes). It depends also on the coding and possibly the traceroute to the server. _____________________________ Corey R.

I ran tracert on the server IP:

]
 10    27 ms    27 ms    27 ms  web7.000025.net [213.230.203.212]

Trace complete.

The results don't mean too much to me but if anyone else spots an obvious problem please let me know.

When it happens - an immediate refresh corrects the problem? Are the sites all on the same server? _____________________________ Corey R.

In which case either your host needs to sort it out, or you through a cp if you have one. ( PHP, as far as I know can be configured to show errors at the server level.) _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

If PHP can show the errors - that might help some. I don't really mess with *NIX boxes. I don't know if it would be a caching inasmuch a server issue though, since the includes are done at the server side and not the browser side Or maybe the hosting company has their site on a different box. That way you can test it at the same time when you get the errors. Or can someone else test it at the same time you are having the errors? _____________________________ Corey R.

As Caz says, it depends whether you've got error reporting set on or off, which can be set globally at the php.ini level (running a page with just the function phpinfo() will tell you alsorts about how php's configured on the server), or you can set it on a per script basis using the error_reporting() function - the various permutations of it are described on this page in the PHP manual. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.
