yes I know, PHP wasn't meant for this task... the question has been asked a number of tmes since V2... we have exit() which, all though you can place a variable or string in it, only prints it to the screen prior to killing itself (not sending as an exit code)... same with die AFAIK. is there any way to generate a exit code on the completion of a php script that will be interpreted by the program or CGI calling the script... thanks Dave
