I guess somewhere, some text is being sent out to the browser before the header() functions are being called.

For example: mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will produce an error message, that the to address is bad, while @mail('', 'subject', 'body'); will silently fail. Rather than doing that, it's better to write your code so that there won't be error messages in the first place. --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
