(Like I said, I'm pretty new to PHP...) Well you could try using an HTTP 302 Found or 307 Temporary Redirect, but IIRC clients must not redirect the request unless the response is received in response to a GET or HEAD request, so you'd have to use GET. I seem to remember reading something about uploading files, which is kinda difficult with GET... Possibly your best option would be to send a POST request through the HTTPD via a socket- there are libraries out there to help you do this easily, try PEAR, hotscripts, phpclasses, etc. > > Thanks! > > -- > > Charlie Fiskeaux II > Media Designer > Cre8tive Group > cre8tivegroup.com > 859/858-9054x29 > cell: 859/608-9194 -- Evan Nemerson evan@coeus-group.com http://coeusgroup.com/en
