I was working on experimental php code in a block ... once i submitted it I can no longer get into the site at all.

I added a block with "obviously" bad php code in it. Immediately things were hosed now it waits forever when i try to go to the site.

Where do i start to back out the change I just put in?

I do not know if this is the right forum.

as a last resort i know that you can clear that block in your database but i do not know where to do it. try a search for Blocks in MySQL... can you login to the admin section still

like www.mysite.com/user

You can use this quick bit of code to disable all of your custom blocks.

Always test your custom php code in a page (if possible). You don't have to actually create a page, but you can Preview a page with the php filter enabled, and that will give you an idea as to whether or not your code works.

I've done this several times, and this thread has been a life-saver for me: http://drupal.org/node/166556

In that thread, also notice VeryMisunderstood's post re: testing new php code as Pages instead of Blocks. Wiser words were never spoken IMO...

Hope this helps.
