Issue with recent Php5 update

For a couple of years I have used this type of link to bring content
into my mediawiki:

{{Offsite Disclaimer}}
{{wikipedia::Inductive reasoning}}

And it has always worked well.

I recently upgraded my Debian Linux Php to:
PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze9

Since then This link does not work, nor do any of the others that are
formatted to this style.

Any Tips please!!
Thanks
frosty

Does your php error log show anything? (eg. you're trying to load an
extension not compatible with PHP 5.3.3).

Another option would be a configuration change in the new php.ini, such
as disabling allow_url_fopen (but again, it shouldn't be needed if you
have curl extension enabled, that's php5-curl package).

I actually did the Php5 updates when I was installing the php-curl
module. I did find some file missmatch errors so I decided to go ahead &
upgrade to mediawiki-1.19.0 to make sure all my dependencies were in
sync. That fixed the problem. Also; at least so far...no screen
artifacts, & the {{wikipedia::linktopage}} is now working fine. I'll
leave it be for a while. LOL!!
Thanks!
