Hi Martin,
It's a legacy application that is huge and sprawling and teh programmers who developed it left along time ago , apparently. It would probably be easier to write a whole new application then convert it to php 4 or 5 and thankfully thats not what I've been asked to do.
psa - thanks for that!! would that be part of an oracle library?
thanks,
neil
