The problem turned out to be, since I'm using the MCRYPT function to encrypt the password, once in a while the encrypted password will have a bad character: ßt¦?rDþž’Q…ß±– For example, the above has ’ This stops the PHP processing cold when executing the query to insert that string - no errors at all - just stops processing - and I do have display_errors turned on. So then, how does one store this type of string? I can't do a string replace....but there must be a way... If anyone has come across this, please let me know...

This can prevent all error message to be shown.

Nothing is being sent to the browser....still doesn't work if the recordset isn't empty. I'm wondering, is there any other way to do a redirect in PHP?

You could try setting error_reporting() to full before you do anything, it may help, and it's always prudent to use it that way: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ?> Additionally, redirects fail when you've sent output to the browser, even if its just whitespace. Your code looks OK, but check for it. The error reporting thang may help you with that. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 Graphing for FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari: http://www.rgraph.org (Updated November 29th) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
