I'm asking this question on behalf of someone else and am quite ignorant to what he's talking about. Does anyone have a clue? ---snip--- The data in HTML form POSTs is packaged into name value pairs. But when IE 5 exports its favorites file to a server (an HTML file), it sends a raw HTTP POST of the data (there are no names and values, just a raw text stream). PHP's HTTP_POST_VARS does a good job of exposing the variables found in HTML form posts. But it doesn't allow access to the raw HTTP POST data (HTTP_POST_VARS contains a brave but corrupted attempt to parse the 'variables'). Perl CGI stdin has a similar problem to PHP. But someone did an experiment for me and found that mod_perl's read command works perfectly. ---snip--- jason _______________________________________________________ Site Design, Hosting, and E-Commerce at www.webpipe.net
