Thanks Everah, I have removed the code that writes to a file, and tested it to be sure it didn't, so now it just goes straight to the database, where I will remove it within minutes of being notified that it's there, or at the very most, it might stay there overnight between working hours.

I am trying now to set up a SSH connection as was suggested, but my connection is being refused, so I am going to be working with the hosting company to get that going. Obviously, I have ALOT to learn, unfortunately, I also have a boss who doesn't seem to think I need any formal training, but if anyone has a suggestion on a good class to take for security, I would try to convince her.

I have been in the IT biz for a long time, but not on content and programming, so any help I can get is very good and very appreciated. In here I feel like midget in a land of giants :?

SSH may not be enabled on hosted accounts. Expecially if it is a shared hosting account or virtual hosting account because you would then have access to the machine that houses many, many site servers. Just a heads up.

As for classes... well I would say hang out here a little bit. Or frequent the PHP.net website, as they have listings of events that updates pretty regularly.

Hi Everah, it is a shared server, but we do have our own separate IP (required for SSL). I actually have a personal web site hosted on the same server.

I will hang out here as much as possible, and I'll check out php.net

Thanks again! Dawn
