Re: Variable problems

Thanks, but I found out something really interesting! I was using php-win32 version 4.3.0 and it would not process the variables. I took the same script and ran it a buddies server with version 4.0.6 and it ran fine. I unloaded 4.3.0 and loaded 4.0.6 on my server and the scripts ran fine! Make sense to you? Maybe there are some bugs in 4.3.0.
