Thanks Chris. I tried that (see original post). Then I get a 500 error in my browser and bad header in error_log. Guess I'll have to take session_start() apart and see what it does. This all worked in 4.2, though, where I used .cgi files without a die-hard need for Content-type. As I said in a previous post, everything works when I run my program as a .php file without Content-type. So I guess there's a conflict between the Content-type header and those inserted by session_start() in 4.3.4. Thanks for any help, I'm on a bad deadline and my ISP changed PHP version without telling! -- Børge
