Just for fun, try putting an "exit;" at the end of the script. I've seen cases where PHP didn't seem to exit when it should, and would just sort of site there... I toss in 'exit;' and it works fine. I've never found a pattern to when this happens, and it's so easy to work-around I've never dug into it much... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
