All other php > functions appear to work. =nevertheless they might help point/discard ideas. =also a snippet of code might be relevant. =Please advise, =dn (about the same s/w on WinNTWS 4.0 SP6a, with email working well) -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
