Probably your web server is timing out the request and killing your script. Web servers don't like to run long-running processes like this. Perhaps you can fork off a child and have the child take care of it. See http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col20.html for a nice technique on this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
