One more thing. PHP 4.0.3 is out-of-date for YEARS now. Maybe you could try to convince the ISP to upgrade or convince your client to move to an up-to-date provider. If this is not possible and you run into problems with missing functions, take a look at PEAR::PHP_Compat: http://www.go-pear.org/package/PHP_Compat Regards, Torsten
