Thank you for your feedback.....

I started off doing my Schoolboy JScript via having a few helping hands 
providing working
answers to a problems rather than directing me toward a DIY option, 
this  worked
well in welding classes too ;)

I am SADLY most unlikely to ever need to use PHP other than for this 404 
logging page
as you all know I am not a "run-of-the-mill" user of this group and 
"playing at it" in
comparison to a lot of you.....

I will take a look at the URLs below however on first examination the 
incorporation
of 120+ lines of PHP into my tiny 404 emailling script looks very daunting 
indeed ;(

I would invite anyone with experience in also running welding classes to 
send me
a working script so I can see how it works, no more URLs please i am still 
reading
lines 20-60 of the first page......

John
Brazing, Gas, Arc  + MiG and a wee bit of TiG but still
got the piece the teacher did for me in class 1 ;0
