PHP website question

So heres the deal... I know that this is COMPLETELY unrelated to MAC's but i would ask anyway... the threads have been mostly general discussion lately anyhow...

I have a php based website that is going threw a redesign hosted on my proprietary linux server...

folder structure is set up like this...

html
-element
-image
-script
-sfo
-shop
-spec
-and various html files


to eventually test the redesign I have setup an additional folder called "TEST" inside "HTML" that duplicates the heirarchy like so:

html
-test
--element
--image
--script
--sfo
--shop
--spec
--and various html files
-element
-image
-script
-sfo
-shop
-spec
-and various html files

well all is well and good until i try to load the page... when i point the browser to the "index.php3" page in the "TEST" folder it takes forever to load and eventually locks up the browser...

is this a database issue due to the moved files, or a php thing?

I have never had a problem like this before; but then again this is the most complex site I have done..

I appreciate any feedback and let me know if i didnt explain things too clearly...

Thanks "A TON" in advance...

C-

<?php
$element = array("AA2", "HT4", "MA5100", "MC275-II", "MC500", "MQ107", "MX113", "SL-1","TD190", "M1", "S3", "MAC1900", "SL-6", "MAC4100", "MC7108", "MR7082", "MVS3", "C39", "MA6200");
shuffle($element);
$r1 = $element[0];
if(!($r1=fopen("./element/$r1.htm","r1"))) {
print(" ");
}
while(!feof($r1)) {
$line = fgets($r1, 255);
print("$line");


these are the lines of code that are "freezing the browser" oddly the files/paths are the exact same as the ones on the live server... which works fine

thanks again... i will keep playing.. im sure it is me somehow...

i'll start in the "element" folder...
