In this example: ---------------- <?php function my_function () { global $feedback; //code if ($error) { $feedback .= 'Could Not Perform Operation XXX'; return false; } else { $feedback .= 'Operation XXX Successfully Performed'; return true; } } ?> ---------------- What is the scope of $feedback? Is it just global anywhere in any PHP code for this web hit, or is it persistant across a session? I assume PHP has a lot of fancy session management stuff? How do I store variables into the scope of a session if I want to? What do explode()/implode() do? How do I look up functions in a PHP environment on Linux? In Perl if I wanted to know what the function implode() did, I'd type "perldoc -f implode". Is there a PHP equivalent to that? How does job security fit into his 10 point rating system? -grin- Thanks from the newb, j Omaha Perl Mongers: http://omaha.pm.org My favorite IE error: http://www.homestarrunner.com/systemisdown.html
