readfile()

HI all I'm currently using this function to read a remove address to create a mailbox ... However - It ALWAYS displays the output of that file to the user screen ... all I wish to do is something like ... $status = Readfile(warra warra warra); If ($status === "MailBox Created") { Do more stuff } else { Tell user that there was a problem } How is this done ... At current - the "MailBox Created" and error message if there is always displays raw on the screen as if its outputting that buffer Kind Regards, Steven Macintyre http://steven.macintyre.name -- http://www.friends4friends.co.za
