Why does my generator not work? It gives the correct number of line breaks, so its trying to do something, but the data is all blank, even though I've got all kinds of stuff in the data file now. I even set my htaccess file to register globals 1. zanysite.com/toys/rpgitem...andtoy.php

I'm utterly ignorant of how PHP programs are written but isn't there usually a link somewhere in the program itself that references the data file? There's no data file referenced, just the quantities that you can make of the generated words. I see by backing up into your directory that there IS a data file, but it's not being used... Again I don't really know squat but usually isn't there a reference to it? I usually go into page source to check generators whether they're java or php and that's what I've observed... I could be completely wrong though.

It's doing its thing right, its reading each line of the file, I checked that when I debugged it. It's just losing the variable or something once its done that. I suspect it has something to do with global variable and scope and functions but I'm weak on that.

I'm not getting any errors or anything, like I'd expect if I uploaded it as binary or not or whatever, its just blank. Like I said, I debugged what it was reading to the page, and its reading the file, but something is happening to it afterword. =(

And I apologize. It was indeed the binary upload issue. I deleted the files and reuploaded them, making sure it was binary... and it all works fine now. I seriously do not believe it. I've been doing webstuff for years now and thought I knew at least the basics. I feel stupid. Thank you all, though!
