At least the base of it (and the comments). ;-P See in the first block how you're using $_SESSION? That's why you're able to read it later.... because you have two return $xxx lines in each function. As soon as a function reaches a return statement, it returns that data and exits, so the second return is never processed. -- </Dan> Daniel P.
