The problem should be in the    definitions of the PATH of the file   
iah.def.php

PHP5.3 is out for quite some time now, comes by definition with any newer Linux installation and is e.g. also part of the newer WAMP-installations in Windows.Therefore we cannot afford sticking with PHP5.2 for long anymore, for sure.

> - php.ini settings are crucial and sensitive but can be transferred from the PHP5.2 one
> - only the Site page is still problematic by resulting in empty pages when clicking on 'Search' or 'Filter'. As far as we can see this is due to a different result from the XML-parser in XML2tree.
> This last problem is a major one as the Site is probably the most visible part of ABCD - to the end-users that is.
> Any help or suggestions on how to tackle that problem would be most welcome...
> It would be nice if we could prepare for a version 2.0 which is also PHP5.3 compatible !
