All php script running  in FF or IE is not working, Why ? but it works
at Linux shell

One more thing,

all my script is running  at Linux,

WHen I try to run phpinfo()  at website, ti doesn't work, why,

SHoud I need to delete some lock or error file in Linux?

just send the file at wrong directory only,


jusr careless mistake

Yeah, glad you found it!

Thx for the points!

Do you mean you viewed the file with Notepad on Windows and with cat on Linux?

So the files are obviously different.

I assume that the Windows version is meant to be correct (the one ending with "zend_extensions....").

A difference like the one between "Europe/Moscow" and "America/New_York" cannot result from a wrong file transfer method or a bad editor.

There is obviously some general problem. Are you sure that you transferred the changed file to the right place and/or that you transferred the right file?

Sorry, just send wrongly the window version xampp's php.ini file to linux server and the
orginal file is  at different directory, after re-send, all fatal error is gone

Just sending wrong file issue

What is "echo out"??

I suggested "cat -v" because this transforms nonprinting characters to readable ones.

But using cat -v php.ini, it show different  and output end with
date.timezone="America/New_York", so it is strange

In my Notepad , it show the end of php.ini file

just echo out php.ini file , nothing is special

cat -v php.ini ,

output is looking like the output on my Notepad++ editor

I ftp it from my server throught pscp.exe and the first line character
is [PHP], Is it normal?

part of php.ini
========================
[PHP]

;;;;;;;;;;;
; WARNING ;
;;;;;;;;;;;
; This is the default settings file for new PHP installations.
; By default, PHP installs itself with a configuration suitable for
; development purposes, and *NOT* for production purposes.
; For several security-oriented considerations that should be taken
; before going online with your site, please consult php.ini-recommended
; and http://php.net/manual/en/security.php.


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior.  In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'.  PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory.  The
; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple.  Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future.
;
; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
; directive = value
; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
;
; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
;
; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
; |        bitwise OR
; &        bitwise AND
; ~        bitwise NOT
; !        boolean NOT
;
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;
; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
; sign, or by using the None keyword:
;
;  foo =         ; sets foo to an empty string
;  foo = none    ; sets foo to an empty string
;  foo = "none"  ; sets foo to the string 'none'
;
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
;
; All the values in the php.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin
; defaults (that is, if no php.ini is used, or if you delete these lines,
; the builtin defaults will be identical).

OK, just saw your intermediate comment.

pscp is binary by default.

Could it be that Notepad has added these unwanted characters?

What do you see in Linux with

cat -v php.ini

?

By the way, pscp is not FTP!

There is no binary option, what
 should I do ?
please advise

Because tranferring in text mode adds carriage return characters at the line ends (Windows standard) which many Linux programs do not understand (Linux hast just linefeeds, no additional carriage returns).

In binary mode you don't transfer to binary, you just leave the file unchanged.

But php.ini is a text file , Right, Why it transfer to binary ?

pscp.exe

You must transfer the file in binary format from Windows to Linux!

If you still have it on Windows repeat the transfer, in binary format.

Which FTP client do you use?
