        echo  "<h1>Location/District added.</h1><br />\n";

  }
 else if ($_POST['insert'] == 2)

On one server, apache2/php4, it works FINE.

On another server, apache2/php5 it doesn't load anything past the mysql_connect, then after that it only loads one input dropdown.

wtf is going on, what huge difference am I missing

I think in php5, the default is not to allow <? but only <?php - I don't know if this is part of your problem, but it might be.

If you make everything <?php you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, it has nothing to do with the differences between PHP4 and PHP5.

considering that you dont even have the mysql_connect in the code you gave us but instead in the include this is not helpful information to work thi

sorry, about not including the mysql_connect

james was right, it wasn't the change between them, there was something whack with taht server, we blew it away and did a fresh install of suse10.1 and the whoe LAMP bundle and now its working as a charm.

weird.

wonder what got f'd up though

PHP5 has short hand tagging disabled by default. PHP6 will completely remove the ability to use short hand tags for PHP. Get used to using <?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?> instead of <? echo 'Hello World!'; ?> (or in that case, <?='Hello World!'?>).
