It accesses the SQL Server database remotely. I I can't comment on the use of register_globals or session_register as I always use the $_SESSION array but I do use PHP on IIS... Something that you might like to check is that the directory specified by: session.save_path in the IIS server's php.ini is a directory writable by the user that IIS masquerades. The default value for this is: c:\php\sessiondata which if your sysadmin installed php as Administrator will not be writable by the IIS user (normally IUSR_<hostname>). Either get the sysadmin to specify (& create) another dir that is writable by IIS or change the permissions on c:\php\sessiondata Assuming you're running Apache on a Linux (and probably other un*x) distribution you will find that the session.save_path variable is set to /tmp which is usually world writable. I think if you posted the exact error message it would tell me if this was happening to you or not... hth, Simon -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Simon Rees Â| Âtech-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Â| ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
