 * Final update,
 * so the server software is still the same, but i was able to upgrade wordpress
   to the latest version AND install the latest version. What’s interesting is that
   the upgraded version and the fresh install aren’t exactly the same. That’s very
   very odd (to me).
 * The problem with PHP was that one tag said
 * `<? menu();?>`
 * And when changed to:
 *     ```
       <?php menu(); ?>
       ```
   
 * it works! there are other issues but i will fix that later.
 * So while the older version of php didn’t have a problem with that, the newer 
   version does.

 * Well, after a few more hours of messing around this is what has happened:
 * ended up with:
 * FreeBSD 8 release
    mysql-client-5.1.39 Multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-
   server-5.1.39 Multithreaded SQL database (server) php5-5.2.11 PHP Scripting Language
   php5-extensions-1.3 A “meta-port” to install PHP extensions php5-mysql-5.2.11
   The mysql shared extension for php apache-2.2.13 Version 2.2.x of Apache web 
   server with prefork MPM.
 * **and wordpress Version 2.8.6 **
    I will try updating to newest version (oh noes)
   2.9.2 after lunch
 * The blog is up and running now with all defaults loaded. the DB is exactly the
   same, only the version has been updated.
 * PHP still is broken!
    “Notice: Use of undefined constant home – assumed ‘home’
   in /usr/local/www/apache22/website/dir/index.php on line 2”
 * This is what it it is complaining about in index.php:
    “<?php $name = home; require(‘
   header.php’); ?>”
 * Thanks
