Phil, sorry, I can't agree. The code example from my first email works fine with PHP3. I have plenty of scripts, which use that code scheme, that run with PHP3 without any problems. After I had upgraded my Apache server to PHP4 in my testing environtment I got those warning messages. For me it means that there are some compatibility problems between PHP3 and PHP4. Robert
