Heya peeps! As many of you know, I use a lot of crons to make the site appear dynamic but greatly reduce the number of queries that are thrown around. This may seem a bit of a cheat, but when they are run every 30-60 seconds nobody ever notices.

Anyway, when I upgraded the server I seem to have developed a bit of a problem with the script that controls the image gallery thumbs on the main page. Here's the code:
PHP Code:
$dbcnx = mysql_connect("localhost", "forumusername", "forumpassword");
mysql_select_db("database_forums", $dbcnx);
$numberOfEntries = getNumRows("photopost_photos", "id > 0");
$desirednumber = $numberofentries - 12;
$entries = getRows("photopost_photos", "id > $desirednumber ORDER BY date DESC");
$flash = "http://forums.biorust.com/photopost/images/mm-fla.gif";
$picture = $entries[0]["bigimage"];
$category = $entries[0]["cat"];
$id0 = $entries[0]["id"];
if (!preg_match("/.swf/i", $picture)) { $picurl0 = "http://forums.biorust.com/photopost/data/$category/thumbs/$picture"; } else {$picurl0 = $flash; }
$author0 = $entries[0]["user"];
$title0 = $entries[0]["title"];
$title0 = stripslashes($title0);
$length = strlen($title0);
if($length > 32) { $title0 = substr($title0, 0, 30)."..."; }
$picture = $entries[1]["bigimage"];
$category = $entries[1]["cat"];
$id1 = $entries[1]["id"];
if (!preg_match("/.swf/i", $picture)) { $picurl1 = "http://forums.biorust.com/photopost/data/$category/thumbs/$picture"; } else {$picurl1 = $flash; }
$author1 = $entries[1]["user"];
$title1 = $entries[1]["title"];
$title1 = stripslashes($title1);
$length = strlen($title1);
if($length > 32) { $title1 = substr($title1, 0, 30)."..."; }
$picture = $entries[2]["bigimage"];
$category = $entries[2]["cat"];
$id2 = $entries[2]["id"];

$title2 = $entries[2]["title"];

The error that its chucking up is a 500 server config error... but its never done anything like that before, and worked perfect on the old server. All files are CHMODed correctly. Any ideas?
