If I am reading http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php correctly, your answer is staring you in the face :-) --------- file: buffer.inc ---------------------- <?php # Untested code. ob_start('send_content_length'); function send_content_length($text){ header("Content-length: " . strlen($text)); return $text; } ?> ------------------------------------------------- Auto-prepend that in php.ini and go have a beer. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
