Hi there - I have a script that interacts with an sql database. Since upgrading from php 4.3.8 to 5.2.5 I've found that most of the time the script no longers returns data... it doesn't produce an error or anything, it just doesn't return any data. Then, "once in a while" - that's an official unit of measurement - it will return the correct data. It's almost as if, as per someone's post here - http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29074 - "php is getting too fast and giving up before a response is received from SQL 2000?" Appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.
