Any ideas why or what I can do to correct this? Hmm, I don't see how the above code can make the remote image *display* your browser. The code itself looks OK, are there some parts of the code that you haven't shown us? If the above is indeed your complete code, then what is your $image_url? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Things will be bright in P.M.
