Ok, here’s the deal: We need to simplify file uploads here at work, and the easiest way to do that is with a simple PHP script. I’d like to test things on a non-production server first, of course… And that’s where the problem hit. It just wasn’t working on the laptop, or the desktop machine. It would completely fail to detect a simple switch statement.
Finally I wrote a stupid little script to test really basic things. And it didn’t work on the laptop, or the desktop.
But it works on the server.
So, there’s no way for me to test a potentially havoc wreaking upload script without putting it up on the server. This is the internet equivalent of stapling raw steaks to your chest and swimming in shark infested waters. I’m just not willing to take that sort of risk.
I may have to install OS X Server on the laptop, just so that I’ve got the same version of PHP as the server. I can’t figure what else is causing it, and that really annoys me.
