If you somehow manage to spew out more than 3MB before you try to call header() or session_start() or whatever, then the buffer got dumped, and it's too late. At least, that's how I think it would work... But I never turn buffering on anyway, so what do I know? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
