Hi Tore:

I must say "file()" works the 99.99% of times (as some disinfectants of environment with bacteriums) but I don't know why there are "seasons" problems appears altogether.

I'm trying Naomi's advice but if it fails too I'll try your prescription.

As you told me I'm devouring books (real not virtual) about XHTML, CSS, Javascrip, PHP and so... I hope someday before my retirement I'll be able to understand something about it.

Thank you very much

Héctor
