Good advice, I'll try with Mozilla.

Anyway, it's probably not the memory limit, because in that case PHP reports an error..

I'm starting to suspect the same, read on...

Did you even enable-memory-limit ?? If you did, use can try this with your httpd.conf

No, I didn't... I just noticed that in php.ini there is a setting for max memory per script (default was 8M, I raised it to 16 before, when I thought this was the problem). I believe the problem is the xslt_process() function. I actually was able to read the file in my script after all, so I'm almost positive that it's not a problem with that. No, what happened in fact was that if the file was read successfully, it was passed as an argument to the xslt_process() function. If xslt_process() was the source of my problem, then that would explain why it crapped out every time I included file-reading functions -- because I wasn't testing in isolation, rather, I was testing with the xslt_process() function and couldn't see the forest for the trees. I'm going to try some of the other methods for using xslt_process() listed at the man page, I was trying the simpler 3-argument version. There's a more complex 6-argument function that I will try now, and see if that works. But it seems that I only get this error when attempting a successful xslt_process(). (I know that it is successful because I am testing its success in the script.) Thanks, bvr. I'll continue to bug test. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
