If you do please don't mention me. This might work but as I said in my email (which you clearly read very carefully!) it's not the right way to do it. Please pay particular notice to my last "important note" below... THIS CODE IS NOT SECURE. It's easily used as a mail relay script, so please don't use it in production or $DEITY will kill a bunch of kittens. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Stut [mailto:stuttle@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 10:16 AM > To: Brad > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Cannot send a hyperlink > > Brad wrote: >> No access to the server command line to install it! >> And, I am into this guy too deep to switch technologies.
