Hi John, I'm using POST for the form. But it's the HTML form field itself that won't allow me to paste in a large amount of text. If I can get the field to accept the text, there's no problem sending it via POST to the PHP script.
Are you behind the new PHP Architect magazine? I saw the site and will definitely be subscribing! It's a great idea. Thanks, Monty > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John W.
