Are you display $_PHPA from within a function? Appologies if you understand this point, but globals need to be declared as such inside functions. e,g, in your main file <? var_dump($_PHPA); function x() { var_dump($_PHPA); } x(); ?> will only output the array once. Function x() will not output anything. To get at $_PHPA you must import a reference to the global into the local variables of the function. e.g. <? function x() { global $_PHPA; var_dump($_PHPA); } x(); ?> will produce output. Could this be related to your problem? Drop me a mail off list if you're still stuck. nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.php-accelerator.co.uk Home of the free PHP Accelerator To post, send email to phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, email phpa-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject unsubscribe
