 * I just upgraded WordPress to 2.5, and now I keep getting a fatal error. I get
   the following error message when uploading photos and in the Media Library section
   under “Location”.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ctype_digit() in /*****/wp-includes/
   link-template.php on line 182
 * The photos actually get uploaded to the server just fine, but rather than seeing
   the pretty uploading animations, I get this error. Also, it only seems to be 
   showing the newest image in the media library list, probably because it hits 
   this error and can’t continue displaying the rest of the page (the footer is 
   missing as well).
 * I tried deleting all the files and re-uploading them, but it didn’t change anything.
 * I don’t have any plugins activated, and the only two installed are the default
   Akismet and Hello Dolly. I have also switched back to using the default theme
   and have no widgets activated.

 * Fixed it! ctype must be enabled in PHP on the web server.
