Thanks Dr, I put the script in the cgi-bin because I believe it is safer there than in the root. I often put vulnerable scripts there for the same reason. I have tried running it from several locations but it makes no difference to the results.

You can view the original script by clicking the link to it in my opening post. The only variable I haven't configured starts on line 144 function parse_form($array, $sort = ""), frankly I don't understand it and as according to the documentation the default sort order is the same as the structure of the form (1,2,3...) and I don't need to build a reserved keyword array.

I'm quite sure I have missed something simply vital and when I understand will feel foolish! Hey ho!
