Yes, well almost. In fact for my suggestion to work, you need a web  
server with PHP, which is able to talk to the two relevant WPE's  
(never mind the FMS), since thats FX is talking to.

Maybe...

I'm not a security expert, so I'm not competent with respect to which  
strategy would be more secure.

You have also considered exporting to some file (TAB-separated or  
whatever) and reimporting on the other DB?

Ok, I'll stop trying to talk you out of your current plan (!)

I think some of your trouble comes from wanting to stuff an array  
($fixedlookuprecipesResult) into a single form field. It *is* an  
array, right?

Maybe your solution might be easier with serialize() (http:// 
www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php).

As I understand it, this function is exactly what you need: Generates  
a storable representation of a value

At the receiving end you would use unserialize() (!) to get your  
array back in a useable form...

Let us know how you get along...

Best regards
