This is a very good reccomendation and thanks for your offer. At this
point though I am not considering moving my ISP. As far as I can tell
from this discussion so far, it is flawed in that it isn't using PHP
compliled as an apache module.. I'm not sure that the demands on this
site will require the speed of some of your other sites. If there is
something else that I'm missing, please let me know.. Speed isn't my
greatest concern at this point.

This is what I'm stumbling with.. I've set up other PHP/MySQL scripts.
(ie. phpSlash & clones).. All of the files that I have set up before
had a stack of php scripts, pieces of includes & MySQL tables..
FreeTrade is set up quite differently... Or perhaps I just don't
understand how it is constructed & how to put it together.

I heard from someone on phpSlash that your PHP documentation was
excellent & should be used as a model for other applications... I'm not
a programmer, but curious about learning how your code works. That is
why I went to FreeTrade first..

I didn't know that.. Seems like a fairly versitile tool right now from
the demos that I've seen.

If I am going to try doing this without shell access, what should I be
doing? Do you have any idea what I did wrong to get this:
http://www.octopusbooks.org/shop/htdocs/index.php3
Apparently I've missed a step.. Also, I should be able to run this
script in PHP safe mode, right?
Thanks for your help.
