PHP Strange error "0:". Possible Object syntax problem?

Question

I'm trying to transfer a site from one hosting company to another. I was using 000webhost until the client had hosting and a domain. Now that the client has their domain and hosting, using FatCow.com, I can not for the life of me, debug my PHP code. I'm not getting any errors. I have a successful DB connection. If you procedurally display data, it works, but when I try to use my original objects, something is breaking and just returns "0:". I have all errors on.

On old server where the site worked:

PHP Version 5.2.11

MySQL Version: 5.0.81

On new server where I get the "0:":

PHP Version 5.2.12

MySQL Version 5.0.32

I've setup a test page to test just the output of the variables with the DB connection.

Below is my code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
try
  {
   $link = mysql_connect('connectionstring', 'username', 'password'); 
  if (!$link) { 
      die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); 
  } 
  else{
  $db = mysql_select_db('a8210422_lit'); 
  }
  if($db){



     include_once('admin/classes/clsPOW.php');
     include_once('admin/classes/clsProviders.php');

     $pow = new POW();
     $prov = new Providers();

     $new = $pow->getNew();

     $newAr = $new->val();

     $get = $prov->getAll($newAr['providerId']);

     $getAr = $get->val();

     $img = $getAr['image'];
     $name = $getAr['provider'];
     $desc = $getAr['description'];
     $zip = $getAr['zip'];
     $web = $getAr['link'];
     if($zip==0){
      $zip = "Unavailable"; 
     }

    print_r($getAr);



  }
  else{
   print 'fail!'; 
  }
    }

//catch exception
catch(Exception $e)
  {
  echo 'Message: ' .$e->getMessage();
  }



?>

It's not useful to print variables if you don't print something besides them, to recognize them.

You should instead

print_r(array(
    "thing" => $thing,
    "stuff" => $stuff,
    "dwarf" => $dwarf,
));
