Hi, Seeing as you are using Windows, why not download the manual as a handy Windows Help File (CHM), that way you wont waste bandwidth online every time you get stumped. http://www.php.net/download-docs.php I recommend the version with user notes as there are also lots of great examples / comments included too. There are also CHM readers for other operating systems (including mobiles), so no excuse for not Reading The Fine Manual any more. Regards Ian --
