The output of phpinfo() is generally unchanging, except for: $HTTP_POST_VARS $HTTP_GET_VARS $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS $HTTP_ENV_VARS (?) any session variables (which he ain't got in PHP3) $REMOTE_HOST/$REMOTE_ADDR . . . Long story short: Get the stuff you need one variable at a time and email it to yourself. -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
