I actually just figured out what the problem was. The variable I used that stored the connection parameters of the non-vb database caused the errors. I was using:

PHP Code:

$db = new mysqli('w', 'x', 'y', 'z'); 


and got this error:

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

When I changed $db to any other variable name the error disappeared and everything was fine. It must have been conflicting with a vb or vba global variable or something. I'm not sure.

*edit - actually $db would be an object, not a variable (me = noob). But I still don't know what the issue there was, I still guess the namespace was taken.
