Weird....

Yours?

php -r "echo md5_file('quiztaker.php')";
f0fa03b6e3479c5f45ff6f0174ad378d

Nope, we're shoveling the same coals into the engine...

And I can even get some HTML output from the script after changing the
top of the file to

<?php
function getconfigvar() {return '';}
$_SESSION['minutes']=(int)(ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime")/60);
?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
// now the rest follows...

so this is no fake OK message. It reallys seems to have something to do
with some very subtle differences in the PHP version or configuration.
Hard to catch, giving up...

Remember, when you include the file, it's effectively the same as copying/pasting the source into the file. IOW, a syntax error (i.e. an unmatched '"'( can be carried over into the included file.


when I edited in dreamweaver 8 I don't think I saw any strings out of place.
I am using 3 different versions of PHP. PHP4 & PHP5 from XAMPP, PHP 5.2.3 CLI win32. ALL fail. all have warnings and errors set to full blast. with XAMPP, all errors are fed into apache/error.log.

I get some HTML, but it's essentially <body></body> with nothing in between. the basic HTML page. I also get an error message about the curly brace in the error log.
with the win32 version I get the error message straignt out on the command-line.
I'll try removing sections under a different filename and see what happens.
