As mentioned in my first email, PHP and myself think turning the global var reg off is a good thing, especially for inexperienced coders and var definition. $email = $_POST['email'] makes a difference is you are dealing with an application that was built during the 90% of PHP's lifetime where reg global vars was turned on and you want to use that application with your server where with 4.3.2 - it is turned off. Basically $_POST['email'] is already referred to as $email in thousands of lines of code and instead of trying to convert them (legacy application), you just use the extract function. Hope that is a bit clearer. - Paul -----Original Message----- From: John W.

A problem that I ran into. So how is saying $email = $_POST['email'] going to help you in that case?? -- ---John Holmes...
