I'm still stuck with trying to get a parsed php file into a variable that I can pass through to the mail command. How do you mail a file that you include? With regards to the $http_post_vars, they are in fact within the scope of core.php, whether I use eval, include or require (ie they are all accessible without globalization). This part is not a problem. Thanks, Julian -- Julian Wood Learning Technologies and Digital Media University of Calgary
