everything after <a is being stripped after upgrade to 7.5.4

[mmcbee]

I am running a php script the pulls data from mysql database. Any href links are being stripped, i.e.
<a href="domain.com">anchor text</a>
comes out in the source as <a > anchor text </a>

As you tell no links will show.

I cannot understand how that this could happen. It worked fine in 7.5.3

mysql = 4.0.25-1.rhfc2.art
php = 4.3.11-8.rhfc2.art
PSA= 7.5.4-fc2.build75050824.12

If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate it

Thank you

Do href tags/links work in a fresh .php or .html file with nothing else it it ?

Is is just in your script or is it a global problem ?

Yes all tags/links in other php/html files work just fine.

I found the problem, but not the fix. I had to comment out all lines related to Zend Optimizer 2.5.10a

I downgraded to 2.5.7 but it seems ioncube and ZO jsut do not like each other. Not sure what to do now. I have to have both running

UPDATE: had to force ioncube to load "last" in php.ini
