Unlike Excel, with PHP the fix is easy - remove the BOM, which is simple once you have a program which lets you know it's there (it's hidden in many editors). My point is only - adding a BOM is not a viable solution: it's a deprecated/discouraged/worst-practice because so many tools don't deal well with them. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
