I changed website hosts. The code that worked on my old host does not
work on the new host. It appears that the php code is not running or
running correctly. Nothing related to php is displaying. Not even the
php code. Why would it work on one host and not the other?
Apache 2.2.8
Any ideas? The new host is not too excited about helping. Are there any
places to validate php code?

The first thing to do is to see whether your new host actually has PHP
installed and turned on. Copy and paste the following into a text
editor and save it as test.php and upload it to your server. If PHP is
working it will return more than you ever wanted to know about the PHP
settings on the server. If not, it will juts return itself in your browser.

Have you checked the error logs? Also, are you moving platforms? e.g
Windows to Linux? Another possiblity maybe that an extension that is
required is not present.

Perhaps the webserver does not process through the PHP processor what it
does not know is php. How do we know this html page is php?

Looks like the case. Rename your pages to end with .php instead
of .html (and related links) that should clear up the problem (if you
host supports PHP). To do it the other way and keep html at the end,
you will need to contact your web host to render .html pages as if
they were .php pages.

ISP provides PHP of course?
Correct verstion set? Esoecially important to set permissions
correctly also.
Using relative & not literal paths?
Identical directory structure?
Capitalization?
Glitch in a filename etc.?
Missing/forgotten file?
Both are Apache 2.2.8? Not clear what that means there.
Diffs in super globals or global use?
PHP.ini needs revision?
I'd give the new sites docs a good readthru for hints if you haven't
already.

Hmmm. I'm not a php programmer. I had my website done about 5 years ago
and it worked flawlessly. I guess I need to find someone to "revisit"
the code of my site for flaws. Thanks everyone!

Code's probably fine, as far as it goes. Webserver's probably just
configured differently and you need all those .html pages and links to
them to become .php pages instead.

Yep. I changed all html extensions to php and changed all code
references from html to php and my site is back up and running. Sadly,
I need a new ISP. This new one could not even get me back up and
running and that's his business.
Thanks to all for your help!

If (1) you don't have thousands of pages on your site and (2) the new
host allows you to use htaccess files, then all you needed to do was add
a single line in there that would parse all .html pages for php:
If it's using PHP4:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
or PHP5:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .php

Their job is NOT to troubleshoot and fix YOUR code. It is only to
supply you with a place to host your site. If they also design
websites, they are responsible for what they do.
YOU, not your hosting company, are responsible for the code, html, etc.
that you supply. You want them to take over responsibility? Then
expect to pay for it. Big bucks.
