Post installation

OK, I have all my documentation in my drupal site, and now, due to some great help on another post, I can include the perl files from my previous administrator section of my site. These files are secured so you can only access them if you do so from the drupal installtion. Unfortunately, I can't get these embedded perl files to function correctly.

My host recently upgraded php and zend. Since then it cannot access any global variable using $GLOBALS .

However I can access the same global variable by declaring global $variable and then accessing them.

One example s $path_info(). This does not return anything since this function returns $GLOBALS['path_info']

But I can access path_info using following code

global $path_info;
print $path_info;

I checked .htaccess . regoster_globals is set to 0
help please...

I have no idea how to fix this so here it goes:
Then I click the node open it shows everything ok, like this:

Hi,

We run the Free Software Magazine's web site using Drupal
(http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com)

We are now looking for a module that

* sends emails to the author of a post if a comment is posted on their
post.

* sends an email to xxxxx (an arbitrary email address) EVERY TIME a new comments are posted.

* sends an email to xxxxx (an arbitrary email address) when new content is promoted.

* sends an email to the author of a comment when their comment is replied to.

As part of an extensive upgrade of this site, I am planning on converting it to run on Civicspace (at present it is mostly static pages that appear to have been created in Dreamweaver). I want the actual visual appearrance of the site to remain similar to how the site looks now.
At the moment there are two related aspects which I am unsure how to best approach.
Menus At present the hierarchical menu (you need to go onto a page other than the front page to see it properly) is in different colours for each category. At present the only way I can see to create this is by hard-coding the whole thing - essentially taking it across in the same forward as it is at the moment & dropping it into the site. This doesn't seem a particularly friendly way of doing it though & will make future updates to the site complex. This lead on to my other question:
Pages inheriting colours from menus If you go to any sub pages on the site, you will see that the page inherits the colour from the menu which it originates - or a variant of that colour. At present I am planning on creating the pages as a flexinode - with fields for the top quote, top image, side image(s) & body text. Possibly I could set the colour in this way as well, but I am wondering if there is any easy way that they could inherit their colour from the menu or from the page above them in the hierarchy.

All of a sudden any new posts on my front page started to take up the right-hand column as well and push down the blocks which belong there. The older posts don't display this behaviour. Take a look at the site (www.vieuxtemps.nl) and you'll see what I mean.

What have I done wrong? What can I do about it? I'm really at a loss here.
