I assume that there are actually directories three levels below /var/spool/mail for it to find? If it's succeeding on the commandline and not from PHP, I'd guess it's probably a path problem, especially if you can run 'ls'. Try giving the full path to 'find'. -robin -- Robin Vickery................................................. BlueCarrots, 14th Floor, 20 Eastbourne Terrace, London, W2 6LE
