[snip] > *lol* No worries... it's all about solving problems :) [/snip] the other folks who needed to consume the JSON have all done so successfully today - just this one. The guy who runs it was plenty arrogant when I discussed with him. He is the one who wanted me to remove the extra array name. I cooked up some regex to do that but then all of the opening/closing curlies were out of whack. If I had kept going it would have been maddening. I told him he needed to fix his JSON parsing. He said I needed to add the square brackets. Programmer stand-off. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
