Yes, this helps!
thanks very much for your reply.
i am testing code on a system with php5 and the production machine is
php4. I know this is not the best idea, but it's what i have.
i am using something similar to your code to have my user name and
password out of the web folder. It just hasn't been in a class. cool.
thanks again.
