I moved my website from a server with php 4 to one with php 5. I can see the data on my drop down lists but when I press go I stay on the same page. Both of my servers have DA. What am I doing wrong?
 
I dont think it is something wrong with PHP. You talking about control panel or your own website?
Drop down lists have nothing to do with PHP, they usualy are based on Javascript.
 
The drop down lists appear with data but when I click Go I don't move to the page chosen. Take a look at YourMilitary.org. At the top of the page you can choose a branch and base. Click Go and you won't move anywhere. I currently have PHP 4 and am mover to a server with php 5.
 
Ah, then your PHP-code is not compatible with PHP 5, make sure that is big different between these versions. And 5.4 is also many changes from 5.3
So i dont think DA is the problem here.

You can post your code here if you want i can take a look..

I start from here: Looks like you had register globals on on your old server.

PHP: 
 IF ($what == "base" && $id_base == "- Then Choose an Installation -") {
 $what = "home";
 }

The code above is most acceptable in this way, if what and id_base is posted variable

PHP: 
if(isset($_REQUEST['what']) && $_REQUEST['what'] == "base" && isset($_REQUEST['id_base']) && $_REQUEST['id_base'] == "- Then Choose an Installation -" ){
	// Do somthing
}




$what should be $_GET['what'], $_POST['what'] og $_REQUEST['what']

Your code is very old! Download new script if it is script you have downloaded from somewhere or you must begin coding from start if it is yours.
There is not much that the requirements of PHP 5

This is also not very acceptable -> $contacted[var], either should be $contacted[$var] or $contacted['var']
 
I am learning to write PHP and I want to do this myself. Is there an application that will help me write the code?
 
Use Dreamweaver, good for everthing, JS, HTML, PHP, ASP etc..

Dreamweaver gives comfortable color to the code that makes easier to understand and has a giant database that suggests the most when you're just starting to write something.

Thank you for your help. Have you ever used Netbeans IDE 7.4?
 
Thank you for all of your help. Currently I have php.ini file for my php 4. Will I need to have a config.php.ini for PHP 5? I ask because I was reading MySQL info and it said there should be a config.php.ini file. If so, where would I see this?
