X-No-Archive:
  
Curious.  I put this in a file... 
   
  Hello World'
  ?>

  Bingo.  
   
  I then take the *same* file, I don't rename it, I just open it in vi.  I copy 
a single occurrence of 'pg_connect' etc... 
   
  And the 'hello world' disappears.

  Is your server configured to display errors? Try adding this at the top of
your script:

ini_set('display_errors',true);

It won't catch syntax errors, but it should help. Also, try adding this to
the top of your script:

echo 'test';

If you still get a blank page, then it's probably not a problem with your
actual script. Maybe your configuration.

Alright, now try commenting out all the script except for the ini_set and
echo 'test' at the top. There still might be a syntax error in the code.

Essentially, you want to do whatever you can to get the page to display a
simple message. Then, work backwards until you get the error/blank page.

If you can't get a message to display, try copying the script from hello.php
to right into your new script. That should give you enough to troubleshoot.

  OK, that gives a blank page, too... which is puzzling, 'cos I tried 
'hello.php' before getting into the db 'thang', and I saw the text on the

  Well .. back to the drawing board...
