In real-time, on a Development server, just echo out whatever values you need to debug what's happening. You can also do something like this to analyze server output: telnet www.arizona-commercial-real-estate.com 80 [your server prints stuff here] GET /links/index.php HTTP/1.0 Host: www.arizona-commercial-real-estate.com Hit an 'extra' return after the Host: line (or any other headers) and out spews the web page with all headers. Hmmmm. I guess the 'wget' application is way easier, hunh? Not as fun though :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
