At this point, I feel a little like Einstein's wife, who, when asked if she understood the papers that her husband wrote, said, "I understand the words, but not the sentences." I gather that the 'validate_email' is.... a separate function that I will write, passing the email var, and getting either a T or F response. Now... where does this go? In the PHP page? A separate function in a separate .php file? Or....? Thanks, -- Whil Moving to Linux: Freedom, Choice, Security, Opportunity http://www.hentzenwerke.com
