I guess I was hoping someone might know a way to force a page to end without calling exit in php4. I may end up having to move all php code prior to my do_header() call which is on the standard template I prepend with auto_prepend_file but I was looking for a better solution since I'm not the only developer on the site. It's easy to fix my habits but I'd rather not inspect everyones code and fix it as well. -- Scott
