I completed a day of IIS training so I should be an expert (the instructor said that we'll learn in this 3 day course what it'd take a college course to teach for Apache - I'm not so sure yet  :)

Anywhooo, for testing, what if you set the form's method to GET ?  Any differance?  Using the latest version of PHP?  As ISAPI or CGI?

Just some food for thought; maybe I'll get back to you in another couple of days :)
