Thank you. I did an echo $Action to confirm > that it's value is Submit. If the variable is set as you've confirmed, then that should work. If PHP is reporting a parse error with that line number, note that the lines where PHP stopped parsing isn't necessarily the line where the bad code resides. Try checking back a few lines; you may have left off a semi-colon or somesuch. Another idea: check that the variable's length is the expected 5 chars; maybe there's some trailing whitespace that's causing the comparison to fail (trim() is handy for avoiding this gotcha). If neither of those solve the problem, try re-posting with a larger code snippet. -- CC
