I used it when I developed the script and then it gave me warning while running it. in any case I reinstated strict which solved this issue. I do have have another issue (which hopefully will be as easy to solve), I have four scripts that are very similar, one for staples one for buy.com one for office depot and one for amazon. each one search for a product and insert the results to a mysql table. when I fork the process they all seem to insert the results to the same table although I open a database connection in each script after it has been forked and the sql insert statement is directed to the correct table. can you please point me to the correct documentation? thanks a lot for your help
