Right!! That were my thoughts exactly. I think I even wrote this in my email. Anyhoo, when I do a print videodb or print['videodb'] from the script it prints the correct values to a new HTML file. >My off the wall guess is that 1) Your > cgi variables are not returning the value from the actual object that you > want 2) The script is running and assigning values to title, etc. before the > afore mentioned object is given a value.

I tried running the script on my Apache server on Windows NT and IT WORKS!!!! The script saves the values of videodb keys correctly. DARN!!! I don't get it. Why does the exact same script work on Win and not on Linux. Oh, did I mention I am developing the application on Linux. And now I tried it on Win XP with Apache and it works. On Linux I have httpd too.
