Re: If phpinfo works why doesnt anything else ?

Thanks for the info. Funny thing was I happened to stumble upon it late yesterday. I happened to read about phptriad from sourceforge and tried that and it didn't work but then I search sourceforge and found the fox program. It was about 5ish at that point and so I went home and installed it on one of my home machines and within 5 mins it was all working. I wish they put that in the faq even if they don't support it. Anyway I'm rolling along fine now.
