PHP files transfer

[junkeeper]

Hi, I'm a PHP newbie, recently I have a problem transfering file to a webserver through ftp.

I've downloaded a php file from the webserver and make some changes to the file using a notepad but when I uploaded it back to the server, the page becomes blank.

What is the problem? Is it bcoz of the webserver is a linux machine and my client PC is a windows? or there is something wrong with the transfer format. I transfered in binary format using latest ws-ftp pro software.

Please help.

Are you sure the changes you made to the script aren't the problem?
Sounds to me like the script is generating an error, and PHP on the server is set to hide errors from the user hence the blank page.

Linux/Windows should make no difference.

Upload the file again. May be the file got corrupted when you uploaded it.

Also sicnce you you made changes using notepad, may be you haven't tested the file in the local server and dues to those errors, the page is blank.
