"how to diagnose an internal server error (http 500) from a php page in iis 7.5" Code Answer

the amember trial software uses encoded php which requires ioncube to decode. i had installed this, but it seems the installation had failed, as a subsequent installation remedied the problem. i was initially stumped because after installing ioncube, i ran the amember test script which told me ioncube was installed. amember support responded that:

unfortunately tester script is not handle situation with dynamic loading correctly. php from 5 version do not allow to load libraries dynamically if these libraries are not in php lib folder. so you have to install ioncube or zend into server php.ini'

i don't know why that can't build a warning into the test script.
