 Thanks Joseph
 
 So to be sure I'm clear on this, all you have described is in on the Windows
 Web Server?  Out of all(my) control as a user and web developer?  Does the
 PHP.INI normally appear in a Winows web server?  Is it in the user's
 directory of a web server?
 
 I'm supposed to setup another web hosting account today using the same PHP
 script and same hosting co, but now this scares me.  They(Seanic.net) are
 not handling this matter so well. I notified them Friday night of this
 matter & just received my first reply this morning...
