Perhaps there is some whitespace before/after the 'C'... echo "'$_POST[status_code]'<br />\n"; You should then see some whitespace inside the '' so you'll know it's there. This is a VERY good debugging technique to adopt. :-)
My own methodology is to use one of the following to peer into an array (of any sort): <code> echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_POST); echo '</pre>'; </code> Wrap one of those in a function or put it in a static class to call when needed, and voila!, instant array introspection. Useful for $_GET, $_COOKIE, $GLOBALS, $_SERVER, etc... p.s.: Could you use descriptive subjects; include???? doesn't really say much... -- Jared Farrish Intermediate Web Developer Denton, Tx Abraham Maslow: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." $$
