You *may* be able to start a script in the background, but once the first request to the webserver finishes, you can't interact with the file again. I would say do the check on every page load and popup your popup then. You could also add some JS to make a call back to the webserver (via a hidden iframe) to check to see if it should popup. You could also run a PHP script from cron that writes a file (to /tmp, say) that lets a request know when to popup. On every request, you check for the file and popup if it's there. I definate;y do not suggest this one. -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
