Daniel thanks for your help.

I can tell you that this is not user input but I was printing
variable to try to debug the problem.

I do not know what typos you are referring to since those lines
of code worked, can you tell me what typos you are talking about.

Putting the quotes around the $form is not necessary but is not ilegal.

The problem I found in calling the "FIle($file)".  $file will include a file to
check for session information and it will send the page to a login page.
I found the problem as soon as I went home when I was thinking about it
while eating dinner (ha, ha,..)

Thanks for your help,

Néstor :-)

First, let me say this is a VERY VERY VERY bad idea for security
reasons.  Never use user input for stuff like that.

Second, from the typos you have above, it is clear your example shown
here is produced by typing rather than not copying and pasting.  So we
can't diagnose what's really happening.

Third, putting the quotes around $from in that last line is not
necessary.

Fourth, it seems like it's actually working because the call to file()
is not throwing an error, right?  [Or are you going to pull one of
those "Oh, yeah, I forgot to say, the Check Engine light is on"
situations that happened on "Car Talk" a few weeks ago?]  Thus if
$lines is empty, the file is empty.
