Thanks for your reply. The host has version 4.0.6. installed.
I've used phpmyadmin to insert a database query from a command promp and it
seems to work ok so the problem maybe is with my scripts and some sort of
compatibility issue.

The host say that another of my sites hosted on a different server is running php 4.3.4, but I have the same problem.

The problem is there some major changes to PHP after that version, to the
names of special variables etc.
The fact that your host is still using 4.0.6 is absolutely terrible. There
have been many versions since then, and many new features have been added,
as well as bugs fixed. The most important thing though is that many security
holes have been plugged. PHP is a language which should be upgraded
regularly, and its an easy process to upgrade so there is no excuse for a
web host not to do it. I would ask your host to upgrade, or switch to a new
host, the latest version in the 4 series is 4.3.8, although PHP 5 has just
been released but that probably won`t come into general use for a while yet.
