This parse error is not detected by PHP:

  if (isset($_POST['rerun')) && $_POST['rerun'] == 1) $script= 'script_rerun';
  else $script= 'script_reproduce';

Note the paranthese instead of square bracket in the isset().

When PHP finds this page, it doesn't do anything. It shows a blank page. This really had me dumb founded, as I tried everything. I even threw in random text to generate errors, but PHP didn't catch this at all.

Once I found this bracket and fixed it, everything worked again.

Very odd.
