Yes, is it not obvious enough from just reading the code? I am showing that the ini_set() function is not working properly, as per the manual. The manual states that ini_set() returns the old value on success and FALSE on failure. My script always returns false. Any idea why? >What happens if you use http://localhost/file.php?var=something >or whatever >your test script's path is and have this line at the end of the script > echo "var = |$var|"; What does this prove or disprove in relation to the ini_set() function? If you knew anything about the function then you would see I am passing it a big fat zero in the second parameter, just as the manual states I can. I also tried "Off" and "off", same results. >does $var contain anything. If it doesn't, then ini_set() worked... >otherwise.. um... find other way of doing it(??) Yes.. another way, any suggestions? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/public.key -----------------------------------------------------------------------
