Re: unexpected return from $_POST['foo']

strange. look into the sourcecode of your output-page, whether there is more information (html-tags, i.e.). and try var_export($_POST); instead of you echo to see what information come with post. maybe it's your server/php config. your code works for me. ciao SVEN "Kyle W.
