Cheers, Rob.I found the problem, which basically was that I had declared a variable in a preceding script with the same name, namely $user_id. When I changed my script to $u_id, everything worked as before. Clearly, Globals are evil. It's a bitch to have to work with code you can't change unless you are willing to edit over 1500 files.Just keep in mind that register_globals is deprecated and will be going away in a future release of PHP. You might want to start thinking about a strategy to update those files before that happens. Bob McConnell
