problem solved

hi, all the trouble i had it with php has been solved php is up and running without errors now.Mike you where wrong my code was correct but register_globals was not set to on in php.ini and this caused the problem also the user authentication issue has been fixed i installed php as apache module and moved "php4ts.dll" to winnt\system 32 and LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddMdule mod-PHP4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml that solved all the trouble i had after reading the php manual it says register_globals=on can cause securty issues but if i said it to off nothing works anymore. cheers Erik
