Worked like a charm. The error that you get back is not a fatal one so you can suppress it by putting a @ in front of $contents = ( eg @$contents = ) Thanks Great post!!

I can only assume the ones who do take on such large jobs for such little money either disappoint the client in the end or manage to luckily score other jobs that make up for such a time-cost hit.

Its a funny thing, how does this person (the person posting the job) have any idea on what this would cost? Can't be past experience, I am presuming that he/she has based price on looking at what others are asking for within the same job site? When I went looking for a electrician to re-wire my house I didn't say I want to re-wire my house for £300. I just said I want to re-wire my house give me a quote. I had an idea what I could afford but no real idea what it would cost. If its the site I'm thinking of I think they force you to set a budget from the clients perspective and just about all of the jobs are worthless to anyone living in the western world. The worrying thing is that that people even bothered to respond!!! I’m no drupal guy but this is obviously crazy.
