PHP is a general-purpose scripting language, many servers and OS don't use the most up to date releases so problems can arise, it's very useful and it may also be the PHP interpreter update lacking, which is necessary for smooth operation and interpretation of code. Considering the problem you are having seems related to some windows boxes at the moment, doesn't look like it's the server for this site, but within some windows systems. Glad I use a modern state of art OS that never fails, is secure up to date and free.
Today with the optus outage, having dual sims just switched my internet to telstra, which is what is used for band work and dealing with business. That way my optus number is private and only certain people have it, so never have problems any number that I don't know just gets deleted on the optus sim. Think this shows the insanity of government, banks and big business, trying to push everyone away from cash. Doing that will bring the country to it's knees one day soon, luckily always have a few hundred dollars in cash on hand, but the idiot businesses that don't take cash, are in for a big shock one day. Only takes one solar storm from the sun to knock out entire countries electrical systems, which has happened in the past.
Raining here again today, had 4.7 mm over night and expecting a couple of days of nice rain. Doing a lunch time gig tomorrow at a nursing home, first for a couple of months. They are great gigs, as the residents only get qualified music therapists who are as useful as trying to drink out of a dead rock, dry, boring and rough sounding:lol: Down here they've done all in their power to have us banned because they claim it takes away their work, but the residents love the concerts we do for them and this mob put forward a petition demanding we be hired again. It also saves the nursing home a lot, a music therapist gets hundreds for a couple of hours work, we charge $80 for 90 minutes of solid music and only because they demand they pay us to cover fuel costs at least. Don't have the heart to tell them don't have any meaningful fuel costs, when running my vehicles on good ole veggie oil. With the cost of fuel wouldn't be able to tour if we had to pay for fuel and venues happily save up their oil for us,which means we get home with reasonably full tanks.
They even wheel out bedridden patients in their beds and line them up at the back of the lounge room and they bop along, even throw a few kisses to the clearly very sick older ladies and then talk to them when we finish, the smile on their faces is a joy to behold. We do requests and luckily have a wide enough repertoire to be able to play just about whatever song they asked for, if not then we say we'll play it next time.
We class it as a community service and I always get pulled up for referring to them as old people, forgetting I'm probably older than most there
It's a very satisfying aspect of playing music and when on the road we always make sure we contact retirement and nursing homes to offer them a good lunch.
