It sounds like somewhere along the line the character format isn't being observed. I'm not sure what PHP Pill is, and a quick Google for it brought up some odd results which didn't look like software! What happens when you output the string length on each system? I'm assuming you're using Windows on the PC, and not Linux, as that is where I've seen most issues with character encoding in the past. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
