I was just lazy and didn't want to type all the $_GLOBALS[...] when I 
first developed the application.  Now I regret it.   :-(   The extract 
function is perfect!  I had never used it before.  That should solve my 
problems instead of using a function to write the globals into all other 
functions.  Thanks a bunch for all the help.
