PHP is ok, if you know what you're doing. there's a few gotchas, like mail(), be sure to remember that it's just a call to sendmail with some parameters, injection of \n or whatever can be a little nasty. someday i will turn all my webpages to jsp, im hoping to stuff lots into beans. -- Regards, Ed :: http://www.bsdwarez.net just another bash person Jurassic Park is actually a documentary about a 5th grade science experiment conducted by Vin Diesel.
