Now, if I'm wrong, please show me something that javascript can get that can't be provided to php. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com-snip- Todd, I just wanted to stress that there is NO way for PHP to access anything on the client. The way you wrote it, you sort of implied that there might be other ways: "PHP by itself cannot access the local file system in a way that allows ..." That's all.I had to use Java for the simple fact that PHP by itself cannot access the local file system in a way that allows for the partial loading of files.Given that PHP doesn't run on the client, there is no way for anything written in PHP to access anything on the client.
