Richard,

As it turns out, it was the session_start(); I have at the beginning
of all these pages. I have no idea why as this hasn't happened
before, and it was just a check to see if the admin was logged in, and
if he is, show a link back to the admin area. Very strange. Thanks
for your insight to this and I'll write back here if I find a
solution.

Thanks again,

Greg
