This would indicate to me that you've got register_globals "ON" and that your EGPCS settings are clobbering your $user variable with data from, say the environment $_ENV I'm betting that if you do: echo "ENV $_ENV[user]<br />\n"; echo "GET $_GET[user]<br />\n"; echo "POST $_POST[user]<br />\n"; echo "SESSION $_SESSION[user]<br />\n"; echo "COOKIE $_COOKIE[user]<br />\n"; in the script that was giving you trouble, you'll find that one of those is set. Actually, since they could be set to the empty string, you should be echo-in isset($_XXX['user']) in the above test. The correct solution, then, is to turn register_globals OFF. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
