Without an example to look at, I may be mis-understanding your situation. But it sounds like this may be a scoping issue: trying to use a global ($HTTP_POST_VARS) within a function without using the special "global" keyword. This won't work: function adduser() { echo "LOCAL SCOPE: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['user']; } adduser(); This will: function adduser() { global $HTTP_POST_VARS['user']; echo "GLOBAL SCOPE: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['user']; } adduser(); If this is the problem you're having, you can find more information at: http://php.net/variables.scope http://php.net/global -- CC
