If only to have a testing server... *sigh* maybe next budget meeting I can squeak an old box out of them to turn into one.. :) I fired up nedit on the server and looked at the file, danged thing pinged out the error in like 3 seconds when I hit the last curly brace before the ?>. Was missing one of the durn things..

I think you're right, Robert. Hopefully, your editor has a Match Brace feature or something similar so you don't have to search manually. You also might want to raise your level of error reporting in your PHP.ini file so, in your testing environment, those errors get spit out to the browser. It'll save you some time searching around. Up to you though (obviously).
