Hey guys, I found the issue. The problem was that I'm on CentOS and I was using SELinux!! Well I'm not much of an SELinux user. So I just turned it off like this: [root@web1:/var/www/php-webdev] #setenforce 0 [root@web1:/var/www/php-webdev] # [root@web1:/var/www/php-webdev] #getenforce Permissive [root@web1:/var/www/php-webdev] # And now the script works as designed: Bob’s Auto PartsOrder Results Order processed at 14:31, 28th December 2014 Your order is as follows: Items ordered: 8 1 tires 2 bottles of oil 5 spark plugs Total of order is $140.00 Address to ship to is 39 Carmen Court Order written. Thanks for your suggestion! But I'm glad that did it! Tim On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 1:34 PM, Tim Dunphy <bluethundr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi James, > > Ok, so I tried taking your advice.
