If $message is a free-form email typed in by a potentially malicious user this looks pretty dangerous to me... Have you tried it with things like: $message = '";exec("/usr/bin/cat /etc/passwd");'; Do *NOT* try this one, but if the above works, think what *THIS* would do! $message = '";exec("/usr/bin/rm -rf /");'; -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
