Snip... I was being an idiot with my damn  marks.

... ... /me whistles as I walk away...

Dont get at yourself too much, I can remember programming something a long time ago on a Dragon 32, the bloody thing kept on bringing up a syntax error when I tried to enter a specific line of code. No matter what I did It came up with the same damn thing. Eventually I deleted the line and typed it in again - exactly as it had been - and the bloody thing worked :shock:  :banghead: :banghead:

yeah thing is for some reason this isnt producing any errors... php is just giving me a blank HTML page. with literally nothing in it except a nice DTD declaration.

Stupid php.
