Through time Sunfire will learn PHP and provide useful replies. I don't feel my reply was degrading. You have cut-n-pasted my reply to be somewhat out of context. At any rate, thanks, but I disagree. I may have been a little harsh but chalk it up as frustration towards some of the replies I see on this list. A lot of PHP newbies try too hard to help so Sunfire, I am sorry if I offended you but *my opinions* still stand. Good luck with learning PHP. Regards, Philip
