It's register_globals problem. Change DOCUMENT_ROOT to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. You may have to change quite a few variables as it looks like cmd might be a get var which you would change to $_GET['cmd']. Unless you can debug and change the app, you may have to turn register_globals back on (security hole!). -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com
