I know there will be more efficient methods to handling things of this request, but just as an added alternative, what I did is available on the web :
http://sharktooth.org/tutorials/whitepapers/apache_includes.html (It was easier to put that into a web page for you rather than sending a large e-mail full of lots of ugly code). Another alternative is to just run the request, which immediately sends the contents to the browser (if in a filter, send all of the data first). With my situation, I needed to parse that file as well, just to ensure that ALL of the hidden tags were cleared. Because just running the request sent it to the browser, I had to create a new request with a custom filter, and snip the data off of the request via the filter. If you have questions (or comments), let me know. Joe -- Joseph Lewis <http://sharktooth.org/> "Divide the fire, and you will sooner put it out." - Publius Syrus
