Oops I catted the wrong file. But the file is exactly the same as mem.php. [EMAIL PROTECTED] swap]# cat mem.php <?php

It calls this program only when the data is requested that way we save on cycle time. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Wong What are these other ini files you've looked at? How are you executing this script? Via a webserver or directly using the php executable? If the former use phpinfo() to find out where php thinks it's php.ini should be found, if the latter use "php -i". Once you've determined where your php.ini should be examine its safe_mode settings. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
