Hi, Just to follow-up on this. I knuckled down and did some work regarding this thread. What I achieved makes things work a tad faster than previously however it did not work out as I wanted entily but has fastened the process somewhat but still have a question regarding it. I have managed to be able to flag accounts alot fast now using test_pop3.php and including a text field to enter a email address in and submit it to a tmp table for later use. That grab all emails out of the tmp file and flag accounts. Takes only about 5 seconds to complete and flag. However it's not what I had in mind. I'd prefer it to be automatic, without the need of me to input an address to flag it. I tried to inlcude a header in a textarea box but can't seem to find the right bit of code to inlcude in the value=' ' part of the form. :( When I tried I kept getting a 'Array' response in the box. Here's some code: echo "<PRE>Message 1\n---Message headers starts below---</PRE>\n"; for($line=0;$line<count($headers);$line++) echo "<PRE>",HtmlSpecialChars($headers[$line]),"</PRE>\n"; echo "<Form Action='pop_update.php' METHOD='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>"; echo "<input name='headers' type='text'>"; echo "<input name='submit' type='submit' value='submit'></form><br><br>"; echo "<PRE>---Message headers ends above---\n---Message body starts below---</PRE>\n"; ----end---- I have tried value='HtmlSpecialChars($headers[$line])'> and value='$headers'> But Array is the response in the box. How do I list the headers that are ouputed in the page into the text area also? If I could achieve this I could than make things run virtually automatic. That's all I need to do now, the rest I have managed to accomplish very nicely thanks to some people. J http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities.
