I don't think you're going to have any timeout issues related to PHP for a file download. Should that problem come up in the future change the time limit setting in php.ini or use the set_time_limit() function before the code or call to an external program that may take longer than the default time limit in php.ini. <? set_time_limit(180); ?> will reset the timeout counter to 0 and then run the script for up to 180 seconds. -- Steven Werby {steven-lists@befriend.com} President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ 804-355-WEBS
