There is a serious bug in PHP that seems to lead to inconsistent handling of memory allocation that affects code that uses functions like strtok from inside session handler functions. A new version of Metabase that does not use strtok was uploaded to the PHP Classes site. Everybody that uses Metabase for session handling is encouraged to download this version because PHP trashes the memory and eventually crashes you Web server when the strtok function is used. http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
