Whatever the case, by modifying my code to use call_user_function_ex() and the zend_hash functions instead of the old php3 functions, I was able to get rid of the problem. I still don't understand why the original code didn't work under PHP 4; apparently, there's a subtle incompatibility somewhere in the Zend code. Perhaps I was doing something wrong before, and PHP3 was just being more forgiving. :) But thank you both for your help. Everything seems to be working well now. Out of curiosity, would there be interest in including php_pam in PHP 4? Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
