Re: Question for Murray

["Phill Hellewell \(pmsoftware\)" <phill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reckon you've probably cracked the conundrum of why my copy worked and 
spentagesearchings didn't as a quick check on my host reveals that 
register_globals is indeed turned on. Which surprises me as I thought that 
this was generally ill advised.

Perhaps spentagesearchings host has this turned off.

I didn't really look at the script I just copied it to try and help the OP.

I'd have to say that given these observations and Doozas discovery regarding 
handling of all domain variants I would recommend against the use of this 
script as is.

Thanks for solving the mystery Micha.
