Anyone know? <?php phpinfo();?> This will tell you everything, no matter what your server and/or environment do that's screwy... Nobody can tell you in advance, since PHP simply sucks in what's there. If your Server don't set 'FOO', then $_SERVER['FOO'] ain't set. If your server does, it is. If you are writing code to be distributed to the public for a zillion different servers, don't assume that $_SERVER['SSL_PROTOCOL'] or whatever is going to be there, and not somewhere else, or, err, whatever... Assume nothing. Always safer. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
