Martha,

I would check with your host to see if you can downgrade back to the older version of PHP.

Here is what happened with the upgrade to php.
First, they could not downgrade to old version of pHp.
Here was my mistake: The pHp upgrade process asked for a db password. Instead of using the old db and password, I thought it was asking for a new database table and password. So in the update process, I changed the password.
Password Issue identified by host company and corrected:  The reason it wouldn't work was that joomla didn't have access to  the database. My host help desk found the problem, then changed file with password info and overwrote the new password and it worked. ( I forgot the name of the file they changed that holds the password.)
