I process customer mailing lists into a format which can be used by my Windows mail processing program. Since I had all this infrastructure already built in Perl/Python/C, etc., I use system() calls to execute the code and use PHP to stitch the pieces together. Thus, I have no problems. This could be an alternative for you, but I don't know enough about your internals to say. In circumstances like this, I would "instrument" the code with echo/print statements all around where you think the problem is. Echo variables which should be a certain thing, arrays which should exist, etc. I know, this is probably a blindingly obvious approach, but I've had circumstances like this, where the problem is completely bizarre and elusive. And that's how I ultimately solved it (or worked around it). As with other responders, I have to say that if you're doing the processing on the server, it doesn't make any sense. Um... one other wild possibility I almost hate to mention. I don't recall if you mentioned whether your server was running Windows or not. But I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to barf under certain circumstances if the user agent (browser) isn't IE. If it was engineered to happen only under edge cases, most users would never notice. It may seem paranoid, but Microsoft has done things like this numerous times before. If you are running Windows on the server, try exporting the installation to a Linux server and see if you have the same problem. Paul -- Paul M.
