As for connectiong to an XML-RPC server using ssl you could try prefixing the hostname with ssl:// so it would look like $client = new XML_RPC_Client("/RPC2", "ssl://betty.userland.com", 80); this has worked since, I believe, PHP 4.3.0 if you have the openssl module built in or loaded. -- John Downey http://www.catdevnull.net
