Anyone know how to debug php?

I am trying to move the forum to a new server and am having a problem with the file section. When I moved the forum from iPowerweb to Godaddy a year or so back, it worked without a hitch. Now I want to move it from the legacy host that it's on to one of Godaddy's more modern hosts and I've got the forum working but the file section links don't work and I can't figure out why.

Just FYI, starting from next week, we'll need to operate without a file section here, if I can't figure out why the file section is not working on the new server.

I barely squeak by with php and sql. A couple years ago when the lookup tool moved to a new server nothing worked either. Every query gave the same results. A syntax change in the php version was my culprit. It was very frustrating!!

I have gone through the code and isolated three lines that were causing the screen to go blank for all the file section links. I have commented them out and all seems to be working, but of course, that code wasn't for nothing, so something somewhere is going to be broken.

I have asked for outside help here:

If you want to experiment on the version of the forum that is on the new server, just replace www. with dev. in the URL.

I got an answer there right way!

Seeing as how the move takes me from php version 5.2.17 to version 5.4.45, I guess I'll have to check both of these manuals:
