Hmm.. The filename isn't supposed to be passed as argument, I think, unless you use like 4.3.6, which I think solves this.. I'm not sure at all (guessing really), but it seems like you should write data to PHP's STDIN or something.. Considering you are also able to pass POST, GET and server specific variables, there has to be some kind of communication.. The easiest way to solve it would probably be to use the cli version... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "Hankj" <hjanicki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> skrev i meddelandet news:20040405193302.80884.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > I am running IIS / 2000 server. > > I have php api in place.
