Ah yes -- you are absolutely right. I was thinking about displaying the output directly to a browser for review. I imagine that what Ryan wants is to display the html exactly as it was gathered and thus displayed AS a web page. In that case, Ryan, don't use htmlentities() to retrieve the data -- just get it.

As it is written, so it shall be done. tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
