Ahem --- it might help if you post some code smiling smiley
Is it sent (if not look for a opening and closing <form> tag)
If - did you catch the variable, and have you included it in your function - funtion($caught) { //use $caught inside the function).


Point is - do some error checking by echoing everywhere - outside the function, then inside etc until you figure out where the problem lies

Yeah i must admit Mac, error checking by echoing variable values etc really did help me when I was struggling with some code...

Debugging techniques are essential, and i figure you probably develop better and better techniques as you go along.
