i guess i have to give up, if it works on linux then i will eventually
have to make the transition to linux. i did try your last suggestion and
it didn't work, but i will try it a few more times and then if my
problem remains unsolved, i will switch to linux earlier than i had
planned.
and you may close this thread. thanks for your help.

When you installed the snapshot, did you first shutdown whatever
webserver you use and delete (!!) all old installed PHP related
dlls/executables BEFORE you installed the snapshot version??
I can't reproduce this on Windows XP (yes, I have that..) nor on Linux
(preferred OS). I suspect it's simply bad installation.

one more thing i went to google translate to check what language was
being dumped on my screen, and it was only the "chinese to english"
translator that was able to decipher it, the words were meaningless but
i wonder why.
i hope someone can get to the bottom of this, the only solution i have
right now is to manually copy all the files i would have included with
the include or require directives, into one file for each class
definition.
the include,require,require_once,include_once all worked for non-object
oriented programs. whenever it encountered the $this-> operator in my
code, especially in the constructor (just like the code in my first
post), it dumps everything else after the $this-> operator on my screen.

not loading mbstrings didn't change anything, versions prior to 5.2.3
work well with no problem at all.
i guess anyone that still uses a microsoft os like xp, can comfirm my
complaint. well thanks jani for your help. if you have access to windows
xp with php 5.2.3 installed on it, you may be able to figure out what
the problem is. till then bye......

Well, do you get readable error messages when you don't load mbstring?
(this is getting quite boring..)

i followed your advice, set display_errors to On and error_reporting to
E_ALL, it didn't do much help but when i set the error_reporting to
E_ALL & E_STRICT the japanese characters disappeared from the output of
my code when using a php editor (i use php designer), however nothing
changed when i tried display my output on a browser window using apache
httpd. i also noticed some comments or non-directives in the php ini
file, that were not properly "commented" with ";" and correcting them
still didn't help.
i also think that in the window edition of php 5.2.3 download,
mb_string language was set to japanese by default, even for english
language speakers, and those japanese characters dumped on the output
screen from my code, could be error messages automatically translated
into japanese.
