All PR's are -1

[Bob]

I have set up a little directory here (http://www.webmasters-cave.org) and I have added the Alexa thumbnail and the Suggest Catagory mods, but when a new link is added it always gets a PR of -1.

Granted there are only currently 3 links and only one of them should be showing a PR of 5, but I've tested with other people sites that do have PR's and it's just not working :(

Can anyone help please.

Never mind, seems to be a server issue and not a prob with the script.

Hi Bob

Did you manage to define the problem with the server or script ? Mine has just started showing -1 PR's - although it used to be fine, and I haven't changed anything. Interested to know what you found out :)

Happy New Year

I know exactly what the problem is here on my server. It's this code

Content visible to registered users only.

I just don't know why it's a problem or how to fix it. It produces very strange results on this server compared to others I've tried it on that work.
I spent most of yesterday sticking in echo's and watch the results on two servers (one that works and my web one that doesn't).

Very very comfused as to why it doesn't calculate the algorithim corecctly :(

Thanks Bob

The code is a bit beyond my tiny brain - I guess I'll watch for the next release and see if it fixes it ... otherwise tolerate the sudden -1's for a while longer :) Strangely the PR when added to the directory itself seems fine - its only the PR reported in the submission, as a far as I've seen

Cheers and HNY
Carl :)

Sorry to say and update is unlikely to help. The problem is the way they actual server runs the calculation. If I get the checksum from a server that calculates it right and add it to this one it's no problem. But this server just does it's sums a different way. My host has stated that if I can figure out the problem they'll happily change the server to make it work, but it's well beyond my limited php knowledge to figure it out.
