What the problem ended up being was bad syntax (notice the variable
$materials):

Kevin Kreamer on the nolug list spotted my error.
Regarding your suggestion:
Actually, I wrote^Wstole a wrapper for all of my $_POST variables. It's not
finished (I want to do more error-checking, etc.):
# This function grabs POST variables and cleans them up a bit
# It's not complete yet --- I need to do more research, etc..
#
# Adapted by:
# Joey kelly, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
# To-do:
# get rid of bad characters, along with backslashes, after EscapeShellCmd()
#
# error codes?
#
function getpostvars($postvar, $maxlength) {
$postvar = $_POST[$postvar];
$postvar = EscapeShellCmd($postvar);
$postvar = substr($postvar, 0, $maxlength);
return($postvar);
}
