Hi Steph,

I'm sorry to hear your Wiki has been having troubles since the server's 
PHP was upgraded. What version of PHP and Apache (or other web-server) 
is running? (Indeed this is the right list to ask for help in this 
situation).

Personally I have almost no experience with RewriteRule~s, otherwise 
I'd offer to help myself :). If no one else here can offer help, I 
suggest try searching the mailing list archives for descriptions of 
similar problems at 
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=phpwiki-talk> or 
posting/searching on the PhpWiki wiki at 
<http://phpwiki.sf.net/phpwiki/>.
