Hi Scott, You simply great. That is the actual problem. When i used $row['message'] the site works well. The array witout quotes are working in php4 but not in php5. Thank you so much Scott

When accessing array elements with string keys, always use quotes, even if you are sure it will never become a keyword later on (as in this case, "private" became a keyword in PHP5 for its improved object model so when you upgraded, it assumed you were referring to the keyword "private", not the string). Using quotes is good convention and ensures that people (yourself included) and the interpreter are not confused about whether it is a constant or a string.

This error is a common occurrence, probably helped by people learning off other's crap code, especially in strings where people slack off or don't know about curly braces, e.g.
"interspersing... {$array['element']}"

Just use $row['private'] instead. Certain names just aren't allowed in variables due to php 5 it's object model. (The most common would be private, public, protected)
