Yip, the logic of the switch statement. You simply don't have a case statement. I must confess I don't understand fully what you are trying to do yet but I don't think this is the way to go. The above extract should be enough to see what I mean... "Only when a case statement is found with a value that matches the value of the switch expression does PHP begin to execute the statements." You don't have one so... it won't ever start! Cheers Antoine -- G System, The Evolving GUniverse - http://www.g-system.at
