Look closer at my change. I didn't add the first dot.

Boofo:
I knew that.. the first part of my previous reply about the syntax error was for the exact change you gave, then I just tried a little more than what you suggested.. sorry didn't make it clear enough.

It's for sure a directory issue, I just tried to move test.php into the forums directory and removed the chdir stuffs and it works, so must be the chdir stuffs...

In the ACP under "Cookies and HTTP Header Options", what do you have "Path to Save Cookies" set to? According to the help for that option, unless you have it set to '/', the cookies won't work in other directories. (I guess that's what Adrian meant by "path").

YES! I just got it.. damn it
kh99: you're just right on, I actually just found out by comparing the settings on the two hosts, then got it to work.. then came back here and see your post exactly the same as what I found.

I recently moved my boards to vB so I'm still new to it, these little things will kill me more :)

Thank you all for your helps.

Glad to hear you figured it out. :)

You got it in one, it just took us a bit to catch up with you. ;)

I was way off.

Although replies don't answer the question directly sometimes, they contribute to the brainstorming :)
So.. they're all appreciated.
