Run php as a module, dont save your php files with BOM, (although you can save in utf-8) dont use short tags <? echo "hello world"; ?> instead use <?php echo "hello" world"; ?> for maximum portability globals should be off, so that when posting or using url?firstname=hello&lastname=world <?php echo $firstname, ' ', $lastname; ?> should not result in anything at all being printed to screen, instead use the following notation <?php echo $_GET['firstname'], ' ', $_GET['lastname']; ?> or <?php echo $_POST['firstname'], ' ', $_POST['lastname']; ?> depending on the method your form employs which should be post for any action which does more than retrieve data. -- Matthew Farey --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
