You need to see you cgi error logs from your server to get to the real error behind the blank page..

maybe this can help

Try to find out what php version you are using. Turn on debug mode.

Thank you for the help, the blank page was because the error display was not active. After this i got this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in XXX/vanilla2export.php on line 12238

Thanks i solved the problem and i can now run the script

I changed the line 12238

from
$corruptedRecords = [];

to
$corruptedRecords[] = 0;

@DaazKu You used some 5.4 array syntax, methinks.

I think it should be

$corruptedRecords = array();
