    It's in .vbp form (no .exe) you can compile it yourself.
    Not releasing my PHP source for it.
    Also, you can add the Category really easy if you wish, the code is self explanatory.

    Nice idea parsing the php page, but there are two problems with using php.

    1. It takes twice as long to load, because the php has to parse the original page then you have to parse the php outcome.
    2. Not only can your php server go down but so can the original data server.

    Very doubtful, if my server goes down the script will still run via a dedicated server which I have :)
    Also, in theory it takes twice as long but you'll find it's pretty much just as fast as taking it from Zybez itself instantly :)

    Question.
    Did you use the PHP method as a work around for the MSINET fault? If you have no idea what im talking about then its a no.

    I've never encountered any MSINET faults with any of my users so I'm unaware of what you're talking about Covey.
