I didn't think that this was the case -- I thought that although there is a long-term move to making 'register_globals = off' default, register_globals is still default to be 'on'. I think that this is described in the 4.1.0 release announcement. http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.php In the 4.1.1 release announcement, it doesn't say that anything about this has changed. I'm not trying to contradict you Torben, but if this is true then it is not documented in the "news" at the web site. Please correct me. - Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
