top few lines of my php script - vyb6a.php
<?php
$xa=print_r($_POST,true);
$va="BLUE\n$xa\n";
//echo "<pre>$va</pre>\n";
include_once("../../includes/initial.inc.php");
include_once("V03/vybMODV03_job_modify.inc.php");
include_once("V03/vybMODV03_mail_update.inc.php");
include_once("V03/vybMODV03_cookies.inc.php");
include_once("V03/vybMODV03_get_inputs.inc.php");
include_once("V03/vybMODV03_log_helpers.inc.php");
ini_set("precision", "16");
$re=$template_data['viewaddress'];
$va.="VA 1abr '$re' \n$xa\n";
echo "<pre>$va</pre>\n";
NOTE - if I un-comment the 1st echo, NOTHING is displayed on screen..
the script works perfectly fine & all the included files work (based
on login & URL) - im just adding my next stage - submitting data...
