I think this node is probably dead now but...

Thanks to all that replied. I appreciate a laugh even if it's at my own expense :-)

In an effort to improve my code I have:
* Removed all printing to a log file (I never look at it)
* Removed redundant lines of code (where I could identify them

I also intend to:
* Set variables to 0 or is that '' or NULL after they've been used - ie where I read in the log file on the client machine
* Look at my use of loops to see if it could be simplified
* Think about using STRICT (I know I should but I am lazy)
* Post my code (in a much better formatted way) next time I ask a dumb question.

One final question - Is what I'm describing a memory leak, or should I have said "Excessive use of memory"

Thanks to one and all.
