I have what I feel to be a strange problem (I'm most likely wrong here). I have page A, which is an internal page, which posts to page C which is external (belongs to another company). What I would like is to insert a preprocessing script (let's call it page b). So, the end result would be, users input data to page a, page a then posts to page b, page b processes all variables etc and then posts to page c. I don't want the customer, to ever really have to interact with page b. Is that possible? If there is a command to do this, which I must've missed, that would really be all I need ;)

You can have tons of processing going on in a php script, but it sounds like what you need is to do the processing at the top of page C, then once that's done, generate output to the user as page C is doing now. Just put the processing code on top of the page, and you should be ok. Might need a while statement to check if it's "done" before proceeding. -- Dave's Engineering Page: http://www.dvanhorn.org Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9
