Dan -

Keep in mind that the change I made was within Apache on my server - not
in the php.ini file. The changes to the php.ini file are well
documented and have been covered within messages on this NewNet.

However, s I stated, I am not sure why that change needs to be
made...more reading for me I am sure!
