[In reply to] Can't Post thanks a lot! ..but i have one more prob... ********** CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect. ********** What does this mean?...i'm totally new to this and no one to teach me... cowit crackling

First off one problem I see in the code is that you set $driver equal to dbi. What should go here is a special code for the database software you are running. For example, I use DBI with mysql, so I would put mysql for $driver. Second, try adding $dbh->disconnect(); after the code you listed. (This should fix the warning "Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect." Also, do you print the content-type header anywhere?
