It seems there is a bug with PHP version 5.2 and lower on windows which requires you to add extra quotes to the input, though, doing so will result in errors on PHP version 5.3 and up. Also, are you getting any specific errors? Maybe you can explain a little more detailed of what isn't working exactly? - Matijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
