Could this be related to the above problem (I don't think it is, but its just a guess)? To the author, now you have some options: 1) output the data directly (tell me if this works for you, please) 2) output it to a file and then read it into your variable (this is basically what the cURL code does for you, tell me if this works or not) 3) Finally you can simply preg_replace() all of the characters (or str_replace() them one at a time), it doesn't look like they show up often in the webpage itself (do they show up together in the bad output?) Also, could you give me a sample of some failed output? Did this happen in a previous CVS? -Sterling
