Say why you think it didn't work, whether that's because you received an error message, or a specific expected outcome was not realized, or whatever. Otherwise it doesn't really tell us anything. Obviously it doesn't work or you wouldn't be posting it. > At http://php.net/ini_set it states the following setting is > possible: > > register_globals "0" PHP_INI_ALL > > Translated, PHP_INI_ALL means: Entry can be set anywhere > > So does anyone know why my code doesn't work then? ini_set() seems > broken. Can anyone confirm or deny? I believe the issue here is that by the time your PHP code starts executing and gets to the ini_set call, it's too late to register the globals (which must happen before execution begins). Therefore I'd suggest looking into .htaccess or whatever the IIS equivalent is. If there's no equivalent then I'd suggest throwing the server out the window. miguel
